Strengths of IWM
1. Exposure to U.S. Small-Cap Stocks
IWM tracks the Russell 2000 index, which covers ~2,000 U.S. companies with smaller market capitalizations. This gives investors exposure to the small-cap sector, which often has higher growth potential compared to large caps, especially when economic conditions favor expansion. 
2. Diversification
The fund holds nearly 2,000 stocks, spanning many sectors. No single stock dominates, so it spreads out risk. If one company or sector has problems, others can help cushion the blow. 
3. Liquidity and Size
It’s large (tens of billions in assets under management) and has high trading volume. That makes buying and selling relatively easy, with smaller bid-ask spreads and less slippage—especially helpful for active traders.
