Overview

The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) is a US Large Cap Blend fund managed by iShares that tracks 19 other ETFs within its specific category. With an asset base of $888 billion and a share price of $733.12, the fund demonstrates significant investor adoption relative to its peers. It holds an overall rank of #63 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B with a score of 72.9. The fund offers a low-cost structure with an expense ratio of 0.03% while providing a dividend yield of 0.76%. These metrics position the ETF as a substantial, cost-efficient vehicle for exposure to large-cap blended equities. The high asset under management suggests strong institutional and retail confidence in the fund's strategy. Its broad ranking indicates it performs competitively within the wider universe of tracked funds despite not being the top-ranked option in its specific category.

Recent performance data shows a decline over the shortest horizons, with returns of -1.49% for both the one-day and one-month periods, and a further drop of -2.37% over one week. However, the trend shifts to positive growth over longer durations, recording a 2.82% gain over three months and 5.50% over six months. Year-to-date returns stand at +7.41%, while the one-year return has reached +15.93%. The three-year return figure is notably higher at +69.16%, indicating a strong long-term accumulation of value. This pattern suggests a divergence where short-term volatility has been negative, but the medium and long-term trajectories have been robustly positive. The acceleration from the one-month loss to the multi-year gains highlights a recovery and growth phase following recent market dips.

The fund carries a Low volatility label and a Beta of 1.00, indicating that its price movements generally align with the broader market without amplifying swings. A Sharpe ratio of 0.86 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return per unit of risk taken over the measured period. The maximum drawdown of -18.75% represents the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced by the fund, reflecting the extent of potential losses during adverse market conditions. This combination of a neutral Beta and low volatility implies the fund tends to mirror market direction rather than deviate significantly. The Sharpe ratio and drawdown figures together suggest that while the fund experienced notable declines, the returns generated over time have compensated for the risk incurred. Investors should note that the fund's behavior in down markets is consistent with its classification as a large-cap blend vehicle.

IVV Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.00% and average daily volume is 8.1M/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 $888B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: IVV 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.
