Index investments like iShares ETFs seek to deliver performance that tracks a market or asset class benchmark. While good active managers exist, the challenge is identifying them in advance, and not simply chasing returns. Only the very skilled (or very lucky) active managers can be right most of the time. The chart above illustrates how most active managers underperformed the index in three key asset classes.

iShares ETFs track more than 175 different indexes. Each modular component represents a specific asset class, style, sector, country, or region. These diverse instruments allow you to help achieve the necessary asset allocation goals with flexibility.
