The 7 Best iShares ETFs of July 2024 – Forbes Advisor

When reviewing iShares’ 396 ETF offerings, we started by separating out the 254 equity ETFs. From that initial list, we categorized the funds by region, subasset class, three- to five-year return, and expense ratio. We then eliminated all ETFs launched since 2018. We then eliminated all ETFs specific to a sector, country, or industry.

From the remaining 98 ETFs, we selected a variety of equity funds that would appeal to the general investor. We chose a core U.S. equity index fund. The remaining selections spanned dividend, value, momentum, and global ETFs, resulting in five winners.

For bond selection, we looked at iShares’ 114 fixed-income offerings, looking for two types of funds: a short-term income fund and an intermediate-term corporate bond fund. We chose the BlackRock Short Maturity Bond ETF and the iShares 1-5 Year Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF.

Together, these two bond ETFs could make up a complete bond portfolio for any investor. Ultimately, Blackrock’s iShares ETF offering is so comprehensive and well-regarded that most investors should be able to find a fund that fits their goals.
