Managed by BlackRock Asset Management Deutschland AG, part of BlackRock, Inc., the ETF maintains a total expense ratio of 0.30% p.a., is domiciled in Germany with fund assets exceeding EUR 4.7 billion, and trades primarily on Xetra in EUR while exposed to unhedged USD currency risk and long-only growth-oriented equity strategy in the US large-cap growth segment.

The ETF continues stable operations without major structural changes, partnerships, or acquisitions specific to it in the last 1-2 years; it benefits indirectly from BlackRock's broader initiatives, such as the September 2025 launch of active ETFs from its Global Allocation franchise and the December 2025 introduction of the iShares Total USD Fixed Income Market ETF, alongside ongoing performance tracking closely aligned to its benchmark.
