Leading Positions

NVIDIA accounts for about 11.8% of market value, Apple 5.6% and Microsoft 5.5%. Alphabet's two share classes together hold roughly 7.5%, while Eli Lilly and Space Exploration Technologies add further weight.

Micron Technology, Tesla and Welltower also appear among the leading holdings, giving the portfolio a mix of technology, health care, consumer and real estate names.

Trading and Price Movement

The net asset value rose $1.29 in the latest session, a gain of 3.45%. Average Daily Volume is about 685 shares, and the 30-day median bid-ask spread of 0.18% describes moderate trading costs.

Shares outstanding total 235,000, and the premium to NAV was 0.10 in recent figures. The fund's small size means trading activity is limited.

Costs, Distributions and Active Risk

The expense ratio is 0.55%, consisting of a management fee of the same amount. Distributions are paid quarterly, and the most recent payment in September 2026 was small, reflecting a growth-oriented holding.

Active management means the portfolio can differ meaningfully from its benchmark, and results depend on the managers' stock selection. Concentration in large technology names means the fund's performance can shift with that sector.

Final Word

The iShares Large Cap Growth Active ETF offers managed exposure to large U.S. growth companies, with a portfolio weighted toward technology leaders. Its 0.55% expense ratio, small asset base and quarterly distributions define its profile. Investors will weigh the active approach against their existing growth exposure and tolerance for sector concentration.
