Generally the IWM ETF invests at least 80% of its assets in the stocks of its underlying index or in assets that share characteristics identical to the component securities of its underlying index, such as depositary receipts representing securities of small-cap companies. IWM holdings fund managers may invest as much as 20% of its holdings in options, futures, cash and equivalents. Since its establishment in 2000, the Russell 2000 ETF has become an important part of leading institutional portfolios. Many consider IWM and IWM Holdings an ideal choice because of the diversity of its investments. The Russell 2000 Index is rebalanced every year in June. The exercise impacts the Russell 2000 ETF and IWM holdings, whose fund managers then have to buy or sell underlying stocks to continue to track the ETF’s benchmarks.
