IWD ETF: How iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF Works
Price data last refreshed:
Overview
The iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (IWD) offers Australian investors a way to research a US-listed portfolio with a value orientation. Its supplied data points to a broad collection of US companies, but also shows that large technology holdings remain prominent. The fund’s reported returns and yield are historical or snapshot measures, not promises of future results, and Australian-dollar outcomes can differ as the US dollar moves.
Category
Value-oriented investing focuses on shares classified as value rather than growth, but the label does not guarantee that holdings are inexpensive by every measure or that they will outperform. IWD’s supplied portfolio spans multiple sectors, with technology and financial services among its largest exposures.
Value and growth are different ways of grouping shares, and their relative performance can shift as company earnings expectations, valuations and investor preferences change. IWD’s supplied holdings show that a value label does not mean the portfolio is free of large technology-company exposure. For Australian investors, returns in US dollars may also translate differently into Australian dollars as exchange rates move.

Risks
Who it may suit
IWD may interest Australian investors researching US shares who want to examine a value-oriented, broad US equity portfolio. It remains exposed to sharemarket falls, US-dollar movements and the fund’s particular sector and company weights; whether it is suitable depends on individual circumstances.
Key risks
IWD is exposed to equity-market losses, and its performance may differ from other US share strategies because of its value focus, sector mix and individual holdings. Its largest positions and top-10 concentration can affect results. Australian investors also face US-dollar currency movements, alongside possible brokerage, conversion costs and tax considerations. The supplied benchmark field is not verified, so no benchmark comparison is made here.
