iShares Global 100 ETF

IOO tracks an index of 100 large-cap multinational stocks selected by the S&P Committee.

iShares Global 100 ETF offers exposure to large international companies, but is still largely US-focused. IOO has a high allocation towards the Information Technology sector, which could pose a risk. IOO's expense ratio is relatively higher compared to other similar ETFs, potentially impacting overall returns.

IOO: Not International Enough

IOO has a heavy skew towards megacap IT stocks, raising concerns about AI optimism and consumer electronics demand. Despite being marketed as a global and diversified ETF, IOO's exposure to US stocks and higher expense ratios make it less efficient. The ETF's performance is driven by AI fervor and trends in electronics demand, but there are concerns about the sustainability of these factors.

IOO: Softening Electronics Demand, A Lot Riding On AI

iShares Global 100 ETF has a significant weighting in favor of the U.S. market, raising questions about its true global diversification. The fund is likely undervalued, with a matching beta on par with the S&P 500 U.S. equity index. Despite the expense ratio, IOO offers good value and appeal with its non-U.S. diversification offering additional appeal.

IOO: Global Large-Cap Equities Are Undervalued In Spite Of Market Ramp

For investors seeking momentum, iShares Global 100 ETF IOO is probably on radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 24% from its 52-week low of $58.45 per share.

Vanguard Total World Stock ETF

Global manufacturing output edged higher for a second successive month in March, according to the latest PMI surveys compiled by S&P Global. A key concern, however, is that inflows of new orders also fell for a ninth successive month in March.

Supply Improvement Boosts Global Factory Output, But Demand Continues To Fall

IOO is an international equity ETF that invests in companies across a diversity of sectors. The full replication technique puts tech giants Apple and Microsoft responsible for moving the needle.

IOO: Some Reasons To Stay Faithful Despite The Long Fall Ahead

Many, but not all investment professionals recommend having some exposure to international markets. One option for large-cap international exposure is the iShares Global 100 ETF.

IOO: Not Necessarily A Better International Alternative Than The S&P

The IOO ETF is mostly just a value weighted US portfolio, with European exposures consisting primarily of healthcare and consumer staple exposures. We think geopolitics is the most important factor, and the US is in a great position eating Europe's lunch.

IOO: We're Thinking A Soft Landing

US markets are simply way too expensive. Every effort is being made to slow down the economy meaningfully, yet equities are way ahead of 2019 levels. IOO, while being somewhat global, is still mostly moved by US indices, and the global part is the only part that brings the PE down to earth.

IOO Is Way Ahead Of Itself
