Temeka buys IJR 107.36: While small-cap company stocks provide specific benefits to investors, holdings in small-cap companies come with a high degree of risk.

Investors have an opportunity to participate in the small-cap domestic equity market through IJS at a discount when combined with a value tilt. Investors in small-cap companies such as those found within the investment mix of IJS may also benefit from acquisitions, most of which include an appreciation in stock price for shareholders. Companies that fall into the large- or mid-cap categories are less likely to grow at a rapid rate, while successful small-cap companies have the ability to experience exponential growth in a short period of time. Fees, commissions and expenses vary depending on the trading platform used and the extent to which an adviser or broker is needed to assist with the transaction. Investors experience a low cost of ownership in terms of internal management costs, expressed by IJS' expense ratio, but trading fees, broker or adviser commissions and other transaction costs may be imposed at the time IJS is bought or sold.


Roselia:
Under the iShares family of funds, IJS represents one of 11 small-cap domestic equity funds and is one of three small-cap ETFs with a value tilt.

Caitlin:
With the support of BlackRock, iShares manages more than $1 trillion in investor assets, and together the companies offer over 700 individual ETFs.

Annika:
While IJS has a focus on small-cap domestic company stocks that are considered undervalued based on specific financial metrics, the fund diversifies in terms of business sectors.

Raquel:
As of August 2015, IJS has a 12-month median tracking difference, or tracking error, that lags the underlying benchmark index by 0.24%, making the fund efficient in terms of management.

Ashlyn:
Each of the 462 small-cap domestic company stocks included within the investment mix of IJS follow the same weighting and value screening as holdings found in the benchmark.

Sun:
Additionally, each small-cap company is a constituent of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

Hui:
The S&P SmallCap 600 Value Index utilizes float-adjusted market capitalization weighting guidelines to track the performance of 460 small-cap company stocks from the U.S. equity market.
