iShares

iShares are investment funds called exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are managed by BlackRock. They pool money from many investors to buy a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, or other assets, giving individuals a way to invest in broad markets or specific sectors with ease. Because they are traded on stock exchanges like individual stocks, iShares offer liquidity and flexibility. Investors benefit from professional management, diversification, and typically lower fees compared to mutual funds. Overall, iShares simplify the process of gaining exposure to diverse investments within a single, accessible platform.
