Description & usage
The iShares Micro-Cap ETF tracks an index of very small U.S. listed companies (“micro caps”). It holds many smaller firms across sectors, where business outcomes can be more sensitive to growth cycles, funding conditions and company-specific factors. Returns reflect stock price movements and dividends, while micro caps can exhibit higher volatility and lower liquidity than larger stocks. The fund is used to represent this niche segment of the U.S. equity market in one ETF.
