- iShares V PLC operates as an open-ended investment company with variable capital, authorized by the Central Bank of Ireland, that issues a range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) domiciled in Ireland, including the iShares S&P 500 Health Care Sector UCITS ETF USD (Acc) (ticker: IHCU.L), which seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Capped 35/20 Health Care Index comprising large- and mid-cap U.S. healthcare companies across sub-sectors such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, healthcare equipment, life sciences providers, and medical services; the ETF employs a physical replication strategy by holding a portfolio of equity securities that closely mirrors the benchmark index constituents, with an ongoing charge of 0.15%, accumulating dividends, and shares listed on multiple exchanges including the London Stock Exchange (in USD as IUHC and GBP as IHCU), Deutsche Boerse Xetra (EUR as QDVG), SIX Swiss Exchange, Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, Bolsa de Valores de Colombia, and Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The company, part of the BlackRock iShares platform, focuses on UCITS-compliant ETFs providing targeted sector exposure, primarily to institutional and retail investors seeking total return from capital appreciation and income in the healthcare industry, which benefits from innovation, demographic trends like aging populations, and steady demand; iShares V PLC maintains segregated liability across its sub-funds and operates geographically through listings in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, with shares available for sale in countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden. Established prior to the 2015 launch of the IHCU ETF, iShares V PLC is headquartered in Ireland and managed by BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited from its registered office at 12 Throgmorton Avenue, London EC2N 2DL, United Kingdom, with fund administration supported by entities like State Street Fund Services (Ireland) Limited. In recent developments, iShares V PLC released its annual report and audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2024, reflecting ongoing operational stability and growth in assets under management for its healthcare-focused ETF, which reached approximately 1.95 billion GBP in fund size with 1.85 billion GBP in share class size as of late 2025; the prospectus was updated as of August 30, 2024, and country supplements continued to evolve for jurisdictions like Luxembourg and the UK through November 2025, ensuring compliance amid regulatory changes, while BlackRock's broader iShares platform sustained securities lending activities with average on-loan percentages around 1-2% of AUM and collateralization exceeding 110%.
