iShares U.S. Equity High Income Active UCITS ETF

What this fund is

iShares U.S. Equity High Income Active UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, traded under the ticker INCU (ISIN IE000WHL2ZK1). One trade buys a whole basket of holdings, so your money is spread out instead of riding on a single 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 across its target market. Its largest holdings include CASH COLLATERAL USD MLIFT, NVIDIA CORP and APPLE INC.

With about 357 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 41.3%), your money is diversified rather than concentrated in a handful of names. Its biggest country exposures are ~105.6% United States, ~3.5% Ireland and ~0.1% Sweden. By industry it concentrates most in ~34.6% Technology and ~11.7% Financials. It is commonly used to tilt a portfolio towards one market, usually alongside broader, more global funds rather than on its own. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.35% a year — about €35 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund.

Income such as dividends is paid out to you as cash (a distributing share class), and over the last year it paid out roughly 10.46% (its trailing yield). 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 23.6% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. 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.)
