description iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH) Overview

Mid-cap stocks often provide a compelling blend of growth potential (more than large-caps) and stability (more than small-caps). IJH tracks the S&P MidCap 400, offering exposure to companies that are established but still have significant room to grow. This adds a crucial layer of diversification away from the mega-cap concentration seen in the S&P 500.

help iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF (IJH) FAQ

What index does IJH track?

IJH is the iShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF, and it tracks the S&P MidCap 400 Index. That index targets mid-sized U.S. companies rather than the mega-cap names in the S&P 500.

Why would someone add IJH if they already own an S&P 500 fund?

An S&P 500 fund is concentrated in large-cap U.S. companies, while IJH adds exposure to mid-cap companies. That can broaden a portfolio because the S&P MidCap 400 contains a different company universe.

Is IJH a Vanguard fund?

No, IJH is an iShares ETF managed by BlackRock. A Vanguard mid-cap alternative would be something like Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF, ticker VO, but it tracks a different index.

Does IJH focus on dividends?

No, IJH is not a dividend-appreciation fund. It is a broad mid-cap index ETF, so its holdings are selected around the S&P MidCap 400 methodology rather than dividend-growth screens.
