- iShares Core S&P U.S. Value ETF (IUSV) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the S&P 900 Value Index, composed of large- and mid-capitalization U.S. equities exhibiting value characteristics determined by three value factors including book value-to-price, earnings-to-price, and sales-to-price ratios selected from stocks ranked 1-3000 by market capitalization. The ETF provides investors with diversified exposure to approximately 699 holdings across sectors such as financials, health care, industrials, consumer staples, and energy; top holdings include Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Johnson & Johnson, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp., and Exxon Mobil Corp., representing around 27% of assets under management totaling over $23 billion with an expense ratio of 0.04%. Launched on July 24, 2000, and managed by BlackRock, Inc. under the iShares brand, the fund is domiciled in the United States, trades on the NASDAQ, and primarily serves institutional and retail investors seeking cost-effective U.S. value equity exposure.
The ETF distributes quarterly dividends, with the most recent ex-dividend date on September 16, 2025, yielding approximately 1.79% trailing twelve months and focusing on total return through passive replication of the benchmark. Geographically, it concentrates on U.S. equities comprising 99.01% of assets, with minimal non-U.S. stock exposure at 0.97% and negligible cash holdings.
In recent developments, BlackRock, the ETF's issuer, completed its acquisition of HPS Investment Partners in June 2025 to bolster private credit capabilities and accelerate public-private market convergence, enhancing integrated solutions for ETF clients; the firm also launched active ETFs such as the iShares Dynamic Equity Active ETF (BDYN) and iShares Disciplined Volatility Equity Active ETF (BDVL) in September 2025 from its Global Allocation franchise. Institutional interest has grown, with firms like 17 Capital Partners LLC increasing its stake by 1.8% in Q2 2025 to hold 29,603 shares valued at $2.8 million, alongside new positions by Smithfield Trust Co., Toth Financial Advisory Corp., and others. The fund maintains its core strategy amid these parent company expansions, with ongoing quarterly rebalancing of the S&P 900 Value Index to reflect current value characteristics.
