The new ETFs add to the iShares Build ETF
line-up to expand granular access to U.S. companies

ETF (QTOP)
The increasing prominence of mega-cap stocks in recent years
underscores the critical need for investors to modernize the way
they capture growth of some of the world’s most well-known
companies. Today, BlackRock announced the launch of three new ETFs
to empower investors with simple solutions to express more granular
views on the largest companies listed in the U.S.
The new ETFs are part of the iShares Build ETFs – a new toolkit
to provide investors with portfolio building blocks to customize
their U.S. market cap exposure with the convenience and flexibility
of an ETF. The iShares Top 20 U.S. Stocks ETF (NYSE:TOPT), iShares
Nasdaq Top 30 Stocks ETF (Nasdaq:QTOP), and iShares Nasdaq-100
ex-Top 30 ETF (Nasdaq:QNXT) – join established ETFs, iShares MSCI
USA Equal Weighted ETF (EUSA) and iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF), to
broaden easy access to manage U.S. equity exposure.
“The iShares Build ETFs help investors harness the power of
growth and innovation within the largest U.S. companies in a
precise way,” said Rachel Aguirre, U.S. Head of iShares Products
at BlackRock. “Now is the time for investors to rethink their
market exposure and how they can aim to capitalize on the growth
potential of these companies.”
“The beauty of these ETFs is that they can be used by investors
looking for more targeted exposure to mega caps or those looking to
broaden their exposure to large, well-known companies,” added
Rachel Aguirre.
The U.S. capital market has undergone significant transformation
in the past two decades, but there are limited new solutions to
help investors better manage their market cap exposure. In 2000,
the entire U.S. stock market was valued at $15 trillion. Fast
forward to today, the largest eight companies alone are worth $15
trillion. More importantly, the top 20 largest companies in the
S&P 500 Index have contributed more than two-thirds (68%) of
the Index’s return over the past three years, demonstrating their
ability to drive outsized stock market returns.1
The ability to easily access or customize U.S. market cap
exposure in an ETF is pertinent to various investor types –
including first-time investors, model builders, institutional
investors, and especially financial advisors, as their portfolios
are meaningfully underweight mega-cap stocks.2
“iShares Build ETFs extend BlackRock’s effort to democratize
easy access to investment opportunities,” said Jagdeep Singh
Bachher, the University of California’s Chief Investment
Officer. “At the University of California, we believe in
empowering individual investors, particularly young investors, with
straight-forward tools to gain exposure to innovative companies
that are poised to grow. That’s why we are pleased to be an early
investor in QTOP, which allows investors big and small to easily
add growth companies to their portfolios.”
