Here are some of the pros of IWM (iShares Russell 2000 ETF) — what makes it attractive:
⸻
✅ Advantages of IWM
1. Exposure to small-cap growth
IWM tracks the Russell 2000, which consists of ~2,000 small U.S. companies. These often offer higher growth potential than larger, more mature firms. 
2. Diversification
Because it holds many small-caps across sectors, it spreads risk. The top 10 holdings represent a small share of the fund’s total, so it’s not overly dependent on just a few big names. 
3. Cost efficiency
Its expense ratio is relatively low (about 0.19%), which benefits long-term investors by reducing drag on returns. 
4. Liquidity
IWM is one of the more heavily traded small-cap ETFs, making it easier to buy/sell without large bid-ask spreads. 
5. Potential for outperformance in certain cycles
Small caps historically tend to do well in strong economic/recovery periods. If the U.S. economy picks up, small firms may benefit more. Also, IWM has cheaper valuation multiples relative to large-cap indexes, which suggests it may be undervalued compared to peers.
