iShares Digital Security UCITS ETF USD Acc EUR

Description

iShares Digital Security UCITS ETF USD Acc EUR is a equity ETF from iShares tracking the Digital Security index through physical replication. Domiciled in Ireland and launched in 2018, the fund manages about 1.5 bn € and charges a TER of 0.40% — 40 € per year on a €10,000 investment. Income is automatically reinvested in the fund (accumulating).

The fund in context

iShares Digital Security UCITS ETF USD Acc EUR competes with 1 other products on the same index (Digital Security): it ranks 1st by fund size and 1st by ongoing cost, with a TER of 0.40% against a group median of 0.40%. It has been listed since 2018, 8 years of track record.

On a €10,000 investment the TER costs 40 € a year, and no product in the group costs less.

Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 26.3% of the portfolio.

Income is accumulated: no distribution is paid out, the share price absorbs it. In a savings plan this removes the need to reinvest dividends by hand. The fund is denominated in USD. That is not the same as currency risk: the exposure comes from the currencies of the underlying holdings, not from the denomination or the trading currency of a given listing.

Irish domicile lets the fund apply the Ireland–US tax treaty, with 15% withholding instead of 30% on US dividends received by the fund.
