iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF (NYSEARCA:IDEV) includes large, mid-sized and small companies in developed markets outside the United States. Its benchmark is MSCI World ex USA IMI, which differs from an EAFE mandate that also excludes Canada. The geographic boundary is therefore a key part of understanding what the fund adds to an existing Equity allocation.

Investment approach and market coverage

iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF (NYSEARCA:IDEV) uses an index-tracking mandate. The stated benchmark is MSCI World ex USA IMI Index (Net). The benchmark defines the eligible Investment universe, and its membership and weights shape the portfolio. An index objective does not mean the fund and benchmark will match exactly. Expenses, transactions, cash balances and implementation decisions can create differences. The scope of the mandate matters when comparing this exposure with an existing portfolio, because funds with similar names may cover different securities or market segments.

Holdings and underlying exposure

In the official holdings file dated 3 November 2026, selected leading stock positions were Asml Holding at 2.12%; Roche Ps Par Ag at 1.17%; Shell at 1.05%; Novartis Ag at 1.03%; Hsbc Holdings Plc at 1.01%. These figures are security-level portfolio weights; separate securities from the same issuer may appear in other rows. Holdings and weights can change.

Aggregating the reported equity rows by the issuer file’s sector labels gives Financials at approximately 25.04%, Industrials at approximately 17.76%, Information Technology at approximately 9.66%. These are calculated sums of rounded security weights, rather than a separate issuer-published allocation table. Cash, Derivatives and other asset classes are excluded from these sector sums. The composition helps explain which economic exposures accompany the stated mandate.

Fees distributions and share pricing

iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF (NYSEARCA:IDEV) has a listed gross annual expense ratio of 0.04% and net annual expense ratio of 0.04%. At the net rate, USD 10,000 held at a constant value for a full year would imply approximately USD 4.00 in annual fund expenses. This is an illustrative fee calculation, excluding changes in value, brokerage costs and bid-ask spreads. Expenses are reflected within the product rather than quoted as a promised investment outcome.

The stated distribution frequency is semi-annually. The schedule describes how often distributions are expected, while payment amounts depend on income and other applicable fund circumstances. A distribution is distinct from Capital appreciation and does not establish a fixed future payment. Shareholders also need to consider their own tax treatment, including any treatment of distributions or gains on sale.

iShares reported net asset value of USD 90.73 per share as at 4 November 2026. NAV measures the underlying net asset value allocated to a share; it is not an exchange closing-price quotation. Shares trade on NYSE Arca, where the transaction price can differ from NAV and where the bid-ask spread adds to the cost of entering or exiting a position.

Country weights and currency exposure

International holdings introduce currency translation as well as local equity risk. A US dollar listing does not by itself neutralize movements in foreign currencies. Country rules, taxation and market trading hours can also affect how overseas shares are valued and accessed. Broad geographic coverage spreads exposure, while large country and company weights can remain influential. The practical Diversification depends on how the holdings overlap with the rest of an equity allocation.

Key Insights

iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF (NYSEARCA:IDEV) is defined by its benchmark and eligible investment universe. Its holdings explain the actual exposure, while the fee schedule and distribution arrangements explain important ownership mechanics. These features need to be considered together: broad coverage, a particular style or a specified Maturity band each changes the risks a Shareholder takes. The investment objective remains a target, and the value of the shares can decline.
