- iShares V PLC operates as an open-ended umbrella investment company with variable capital, authorized by the Central Bank of Ireland as a UCITS-compliant public limited company domiciled in Ireland. Incorporated on 2 December 2009 and headquartered at c/o BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Limited, 3rd Floor, Glencar House, 20 Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland, the company serves as the issuer for a range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) providing investors with exposure to diversified equity, fixed income, and other asset classes through physical replication of benchmark indices. Its core offerings include sector-specific UCITS ETFs such as the iShares S&P 500 Industrials Sector UCITS ETF USD (Acc) (ticker: IISU.L; ISIN: IE00B4LN9N13), which tracks the S&P 500 Capped 35/20 Industrials Index comprising large- and mid-cap U.S. industrials companies involved in aerospace, defense, machinery, transportation, and commercial services; additional products encompass S&P 500 sector ETFs covering information technology, financials, and others, alongside broader equity, fixed income, and multi-asset funds listed on exchanges including the London Stock Exchange, XETRA, and SIX Swiss Exchange. The company targets institutional and retail investors seeking cost-efficient, transparent index-tracking vehicles with total expense ratios typically around 0.15% p.a., accumulating dividends for reinvestment, and full replication strategies holding approximately 79 constituents in funds like IISU.L with assets under management of GBP 353 million as of recent data. Geographically, iShares V PLC funds are distributed across Europe, with primary listings in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, and Mexico, while underlying exposures focus on U.S. and global markets. Recent developments include the publication of its interim report for the period ended 31 May 2025 and annual audited financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2024, alongside prospectus supplements reflecting ongoing regulatory compliance and fund updates; no major acquisitions, funding rounds, or strategic alliances specific to iShares V PLC were reported in 2024-2025, though affiliate BlackRock entities announced adjustments such as quarterly rebalancing for select minimum volatility ETFs and benchmark index name changes for aerospace and defense products effective December 2025.
