Overview

The iShares Global Utilities ETF (JXI) operates within the Utilities category, where ETFValuer tracks a total of five funds. Issued by iShares, the fund holds an overall rank of #280 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and carries an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 58.4 out of 100. It charges an expense ratio of 0.39% while offering a dividend yield of 2.41%. With assets under management totaling $323 million and a current price of $84.95, the fund represents a mid-sized option within its specific sector. This asset size and pricing structure position the ETF as a standard vehicle for investors seeking exposure to global utilities without the scale of the largest industry funds.

Over the last trading day, the fund declined by 0.61% before recovering slightly with a 0.44% gain over the past week. The one-month return shows a decrease of 0.67%, while the three-month period reflects a further decline of 1.70%. In contrast, the six-month horizon demonstrates a positive shift with a return of 6.83%, and year-to-date performance stands at 8.33%. The one-year return has reached 15.79%, indicating a stronger trend over the longer term compared to recent short-term fluctuations. This trajectory culminates in a three-year return of 56.49%, suggesting significant long-term growth despite the volatility observed in the shorter timeframes.

The fund is assigned a Low volatility label and maintains a beta of 0.50, indicating that its price movements are generally less sensitive to broader market shifts. A Sharpe ratio of 0.82 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return relative to the risk taken over the measured period. However, the maximum drawdown of -14.67% highlights the potential for substantial temporary losses during market downturns. This combination of low beta and low volatility suggests the fund tends to move less aggressively than the market, yet the drawdown figure confirms that significant declines can still occur. Investors should note that while the fund exhibits defensive characteristics, it is not immune to sharp corrections.

JXI Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 27K/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 $323M provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: JXI 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.
