The iShares U.S. Basic Materials ETF (IYM) is designed to track the performance of the basic materials sector of the U.S. equity market, investing at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of its underlying index. Because the fund is non-diversified, it can hold a more concentrated portfolio than diversified ETFs, exposing investors more directly to individual securities within the sector.
The basic materials sector includes companies involved in the production of raw inputs such as chemicals, metals, paper, and mining products, and it typically behaves as a cyclical segment tied to industrial activity and broader economic conditions.
