Within its specific category of US Quality / Factor, the fund competes against 16 other ETFs tracked by the platform.

Its position in the broader ranking indicates it sits in the middle tier of the 458 funds monitored by the site. The combination of a 0.25% fee and $3.65 billion in assets reflects a standard cost structure for an iShares managed vehicle.

Short-term performance shows negative momentum with a 1-day return of -1.63% and a 1-week decline of -2.50%. This downward pressure continued into the monthly timeframe, where the fund posted a 1-month return of -4.55%. However, the trend shifted to positive territory over the 3-month horizon, recording a gain of +1.91%. Acceleration became evident in the 6-month period with a return of +5.98%, which further extended to a year-to-date gain of +10.10%. The 1-year return reached +14.93%, demonstrating a significant recovery and growth trajectory over the annual period. Over the longer 3-year horizon, the fund has accumulated a total return of +39.44%, indicating sustained performance despite recent short-term volatility.

The fund is classified with a Moderate volatility label and exhibits a beta of 0.72, suggesting it moves less than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 0.61 indicates the fund has generated a moderate amount of risk-adjusted return relative to its volatility. The maximum drawdown recorded for the ETF is -12.47%, representing the largest peak-to-trough decline observed. This combination of a beta below 1.0 and a moderate drawdown implies the fund has historically experienced smaller declines than the general market during downturns. The Sharpe ratio of 0.61 suggests that while the fund has delivered positive returns, the compensation for the risk taken is moderate rather than exceptional. Investors observing the 0.72 beta and -12.47% max drawdown would see a profile that generally dampens market swings while still participating in upside trends.

EEMV Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 242K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $3.65B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: EEMV is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
