Overview

The iShares Core S&P U.S. Growth ETF (IUSG) is a fund managed by iShares that operates within the US Large Cap Growth category. This category currently contains 13 ETFs tracked by ETFValuer, while the fund itself holds an overall rank of #151 among 458 tracked ETFs across all categories. It has received an ETFValuer grade of B, corresponding to a score of 67.3 out of 100. The fund trades at a price of $181.70 and manages assets under management totaling $32.2 billion. Investors can access the fund with an expense ratio of 0.04% and receive a dividend yield of 0.48%. The substantial asset size and low cost structure suggest significant investor adoption relative to the broader universe of available options.

Over the most recent single day, the fund declined by 0.60%, following a 1.11% drop over the past week. The one-month return shows a slight contraction of 0.45%, but the trend reverses positively over longer horizons with a 3.93% gain in the last three months. This momentum continues into the six-month period with an 8.30% return, while the year-to-date figure stands at 8.31%. The one-year return reaches 18.26%, and the three-year return accumulates to 84.25%. This pattern indicates a divergence where short-term fluctuations contrast with strong multi-year growth, particularly evident in the sharp acceleration from the one-month to the three-year timeframe.

The fund carries a Moderate volatility label and exhibits a beta of 1.19, indicating it tends to move more than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 0.76 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of risk-adjusted return over the measured period. During market downturns, the fund experienced a maximum drawdown of -22.28%, reflecting the potential for significant temporary losses. The combination of a beta above 1.0 and a moderate volatility rating implies the fund amplifies market movements in both directions. The Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown figures together characterize a profile where higher potential returns are accompanied by periods of notable price decline.

IUSG Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.31% and average daily volume is 558K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $32.2B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: IUSG is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
