"iShares Edge MSCI World Minimum Volatility UCITS ETF USD (Acc)" is an exchange-traded investment fund (ETF). It refers to the MSCI World Minimum Volatility Index. This index reflects the development of 343 world wide stocks with low volatility and is therefore relatively well diversified. The ETF replicates its index using physical replication with sampling, so it contains the most important securities of its reference index. The ETF's earnings (dividends) are automatically reinvested (accumulated). The fund company iShares claims a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.30% per year. The yearly average divergence from the index performance (Tracking Difference) since 2013 was 0.01% per year. Therefore, the ETF was less expensive than the TER suggests.
