The Tech-Heavy Engine Driving a Top Global ETF

MSCI World ETF US4642863926

The iShares MSCI World ETF (ticker: URTH) delivered a powerful performance in 2025, powered largely by U.S. technology equities and a resilient American economy. This success, however, comes with a notable characteristic: an increasing concentration in a handful of mega-cap stocks, presenting investors with a distinct blend of opportunity and risk that warrants close attention.

URTH, which physically replicates the MSCI World Index, posted an annual return of approximately 22.07% for 2025. The fund is highly liquid, with narrow bid-ask spreads and substantial daily trading activity.
