About
This Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) offers broad exposure to the U.S. stock market by holding shares in approximately 3,000 domestic companies, which collectively represent about 98% of the entire American equity landscape. Its primary aim is to mirror the overall returns of the U.S. stock market. While it presents significant opportunities for capital growth, be aware that its share price typically experiences greater volatility than funds invested in bonds. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for investors with a long-term investment horizon for whom maximizing the growth of their capital is a key objective. To ensure diversification, at least 75% of the fund's total assets are subject to specific rules: it cannot acquire more than 10% of the voting stock of any single company, nor can its total investment in any one issuer surpass 5% of its overall assets. These limitations may be disregarded if necessary to accurately track its underlying benchmark index. However, these restrictions do not apply to investments in U.S. government debt or securities issued by its agencies.
