Educational content only. This is not financial advice and is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any ETF.

Share-split context: A forward split was recorded on Oct 19, 2020 with coefficient 4. A forward split turns each old share into multiple new shares and lowers the quoted price per share proportionally. Proportional ownership is unchanged at the split moment, so the split itself creates neither a gain nor a loss. The price-return figures in this report are already split-adjusted.

ETF Education Report: ISHARES S&P 500 GROWTH ETF (IVW)

What this ETF is trying to do

The ISHARES S&P 500 GROWTH ETF (ticker: IVW) is an exchange-traded fund designed to track growth-oriented companies. It focuses on stocks that are often expected to grow at higher rates than the rest of the market.

What the numbers show

The current price of one share is $145.89. When looking at how this ETF has performed, it is important to understand two different types of returns: price return (the change in the share price) and total return (which includes both the share price change and any cash distributions paid out).

Here is a breakdown of the performance:

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is approximately 18.36%, while the total return is approximately 18.68%.

• One-Year: The price return is approximately 20.59%, while the total return is approximately 21.05%.

• Three-Year: The price return is approximately 110.55%, while the total return is approximately 113.66%.

This ETF has a history of "forward splits." In a forward split, each old share becomes multiple new shares. This makes the price per share look lower, but it does not change how much of the fund you own. This ETF's data is already adjusted to account for these splits so that the performance numbers are easy to read.

Income and distribution explanation

Some investors look for ETFs that pay out cash, known as distributions. This ETF has a distribution yield of approximately 0.33%. It usually pays these out quarterly, and it has made 4 payments over the last 12 months. While distributions provide cash, they are different from total return.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" refers to a decline in the Net Asset Value (the actual value of the assets held by the fund). Some investors worry that high payouts might cause this. However, for IVW, the erosion-risk score is 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF.

Pros

• The ETF has shown positive price returns and total returns over the one-year and three-year periods.

• It has a high income rating grade of "A."

Cons

• The distribution yield is relatively low (0.33%) compared to funds designed specifically for high income.

Beginner takeaway

IVW focuses on growth companies like NVIDIA and Apple. It has shown significant price increases over the last three years. While it does pay small cash distributions, its main performance comes from the increase in share price.
