IMCB Stock Discussion

iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF Description

IMCB is a passively-managed portfolio that offers exposure to a blend of growth and value stocks in the US mid-cap space. Stocks are selected based on Morningstars index methodology that uses fundamental factors. This methodology identifies growth securities as those with relatively above-average historical and forecasted earnings, sales, equity, and cash flow growth, while value securities as those with relatively low valuations based on price-to-book ratios, price-to-earnings ratios and other factors. The underlying index is reconstituted twice annually and rebalanced quarterly. Prior to March 19, 2021, the fund tracked the Morningstar US Mid Core Index under the ticker JKG.
