GLOF Stock, iShares Global Equity Factor ETF Information

The iShares Global Equity Factor ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of large- and mid-capitalization developed and emerging market stocks that have favorable exposure to target style factors subject to constraints. The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the STOXX Global Equity Factor Index (the Underlying Index), which is a rules-based equity index provided by STOXX Ltd. (the Index Provider or STOXX). The Underlying Index is composed of large- and mid-capitalization equity securities from the STOXX World AC Index (the Parent Index) that are selected and weighted using an optimization process designed to maximize exposure to five target factors: momentum, quality, value, low volatility and size. The Underlying Index seeks to control exposure to, among other things, industries and countries, limit turnover and maintain a level of risk similar to that of the Parent Index.
