iShares World Equity High Income Active UCITS ETF

What this fund is

iShares World Equity High Income Active UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, traded under the ticker WINA (ISIN IE0000P0RPE6). It lets you buy a basket of holdings in a single trade, spreading your money across them rather than one company. In plain terms it is about owning small slices of companies, so you share in their growth when they do well — and their falls when they don't, spread broadly across markets worldwide. Its largest holdings include BLK ICS US TREAS AGENCY DIS, CASH COLLATERAL USD MLIFT and NVIDIA CORP. Spread across roughly 554 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 30.9%), no one position makes or breaks the fund.

Its biggest country exposures are ~74.4% United States, ~7.4% Japan and ~4% Ireland. Its heaviest sectors are ~27.4% Technology and ~13.8% Financials. Investors often use a broad fund like this as a long-term 'core' holding — a single building block that covers much of a global portfolio in one trade. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.35% a year — about €35 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It is an accumulating share class: dividends are rolled straight back in, compounding your returns rather than landing in your account as cash.

It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Ireland and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in USD. Its price has swung about 9.5% over the past year — a gauge of how much the value moves, not a judgement of quality. It launched in 2024. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next. (Fund data sourced from iShares.)
