EEMV iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Minimum Volatility ETF

Seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the MSCI Emerging Markets Minimum Volatility Index. The Index optimizes the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, its parent index, for the lowest absolute risk (within a given set of constraints). The Index is constructed using the most recent release of the Barra Open Optimizer in combination with the relevant Barra Equity Model. The Barra Open Optimizer determines the optimal solution, i.e. the portfolio with the lowest total risk, using an estimated security co-variance matrix under the applicable investment constraints. The Index seeks to have the lowest absolute volatility based on the set of constraints. Historically, the Index has shown lower beta and volatility characteristics relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
