Finding the right ETF isn’t easy, so we’ve simplified it. Working with iShares by BlackRock, we’ve created a shortlist of ETFs using criteria set by us.
Grouped into Around the World, Themes, Fixed Income and Featured ETFs, shaped by iShares by BlackRock’s quarterly market outlook.
You’ll also find 800+ ETFs from over 20 providers in our ETF Centre.
Our featured ETFs provide exposure to key themes shaping the investment landscape.
Gold can help diversify a portfolio during periods of market volatility, particularly when geopolitical events drive sharp market moves. It has often been used as a way to help balance risk when uncertainty is high.
Offering exposure to a market that has not always moved in line with developed economies can add diversification. With long‑term growth drivers in place and valuations more moderate than in recent years, it may suit customers investing for the long term.
UK dividend strategies often have greater exposure to established sectors, such as financials, which have historically paid dividends. This income can help smooth returns during periods of market volatility.
The quarterly outlook highlights how current market conditions are shaping investment opportunities to help diversify your portfolio.
It explores themes that iShares believes can help investors navigate ongoing economic uncertainty and risks.
