Over the last trading day, the fund posted a return of +1.87%, following a weekly decline of -1.11%. Monthly performance showed strong momentum with a +9.25% gain, which accelerated into a +2.18% return over the three-month period. The six-month horizon recorded a +19.60% increase, while year-to-date returns have surged to +29.50%. Annual returns reached +36.50%, and the three-year total return stands at +47.17%. This trajectory indicates a pattern of significant long-term growth that has outpaced shorter-term fluctuations, particularly when comparing the one-year and three-year figures against the recent weekly dip.
The fund carries a Moderate volatility label and has a Sharpe ratio of 1.53, suggesting a favorable risk-adjusted return profile despite market fluctuations. A maximum drawdown of -20.37% indicates the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced by the fund during the measured period. Beta data is not available for this fund, so the relationship to broader market movements cannot be quantified using that specific metric. The combination of a high Sharpe ratio and a defined maximum drawdown implies that while the fund has experienced notable declines, the returns generated relative to the volatility have been robust. This data set characterizes the fund's behavior as having managed downside risk effectively relative to the gains achieved over the multi-year horizon.

IYE Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.02% and average daily volume is 1.3M/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 $1.53B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: IYE 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.
