iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ:IXUS) combines developed and emerging-market shares outside the United States and includes large, mid-sized and small companies. Its broad non-US mandate makes it different from a developed-only allocation. The combined structure also means that emerging-market risks remain part of the fund alongside developed-market exposure.

Investment approach and market coverage

iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ:IXUS) uses an index-tracking mandate. The stated benchmark is MSCI ACWI 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 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing at 4.19%; Samsung Electronics Ltd at 1.87%; Asml Holding at 1.47%; Sk Hynix at 1.41%; Roche Ps Par Ag at 0.82%. 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 23.25%, Information Technology at approximately 18.21%, Industrials at approximately 14.33%. 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 Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ:IXUS) has a listed gross annual expense ratio of 0.07% and net annual expense ratio of 0.07%. At the net rate, USD 10,000 held at a constant value for a full year would imply approximately USD 7.00 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 93.65 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 NASDAQ, 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 Total International Stock ETF (NASDAQ:IXUS) 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.
