Launched on September 29, 2020, the ETF is managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors, part of BlackRock, Inc., headquartered in New York, New York, and trades on NYSE Arca with a CUSIP of 46436E585 and an expense ratio of 0.47%; it targets investors seeking thematic exposure to global large-, mid-, and small-capitalization companies primarily listed in 41 developed and emerging markets, including significant weightings in communication services, consumer discretionary, and information technology sectors.
The Underlying Index is reconstituted annually and rebalanced semi-annually by ICE Data Indices, LLC, using float-adjusted market capitalization weighting with individual constituent caps at 2%, selecting companies based on FactSet Revere Business Industry Classification System (RBICS) revenue mapping to Tele-Work and Tele-Life themes, minimum float-adjusted market capitalization of $300 million ($225 million for existing constituents), and three-month average daily trading volume of $2 million ($1.5 million for existing constituents).
