Overview

The iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH) is a US Mid Cap fund issued by iShares that tracks a broad segment of the mid-cap equity market. With assets under management totaling $124 billion and a current share price of $76.03, the fund demonstrates significant investor adoption relative to the 14 other ETFs tracked in its specific category. Despite its substantial size, the fund holds an overall rank of #147 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories, earning it an ETFValuer grade of B with a score of 67.0 out of 100. The fund offers a low-cost structure with an expense ratio of just 0.05%, which is competitive for a fund of this scale. Income generation is a notable feature, as the ETF provides a dividend yield of 3.70%. These metrics collectively position IJH as a widely held, cost-efficient vehicle within the mid-cap space, though its overall ranking suggests it faces stiff competition from peers across the broader market.

Recent performance data reveals a mixed trajectory across different time horizons, starting with a modest 1-day return of +0.04% and a weekly gain of +0.41%. The fund experienced a slight contraction over the last month with a -0.25% return, yet this was followed by a stronger recovery and growth pattern over longer periods. The 3-month return accelerated to +4.64%, building further momentum into a +9.75% gain over six months. Year-to-date performance has been robust at +14.18%, while the 1-year return stands at +19.68%. This upward trend culminates in a substantial 3-year return of +47.44%, indicating that while short-term fluctuations occurred, the long-term trajectory has been significantly positive. The data shows a clear divergence between the recent monthly dip and the sustained gains observed over the one-year and three-year marks.

The fund is characterized by a moderate volatility label and a beta of 1.00, suggesting its price movements generally align with the broader market's direction and intensity. A Sharpe ratio of 0.94 indicates that the returns generated have been reasonable relative to the amount of risk taken, reflecting a balanced risk-adjusted profile. However, the fund has experienced a maximum drawdown of -24.10%, highlighting the potential for significant temporary losses during market downturns. This combination of a beta of 1.00 and a max drawdown of -24.10% implies that the ETF is fully exposed to market swings without the buffer of lower volatility. Investors should note that while the Sharpe ratio suggests efficient risk management over time, the magnitude of the drawdown underscores the inherent risks of holding mid-cap equities during periods of market stress.

IJH Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 7.2M/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 $124B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: IJH 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.
