iShares Electric Vehicles ETF to switch to replication strategy

LONDON - iShares IV plc announced Friday that its Electric Vehicles and Driving Technology UCITS ETF will change from an optimization strategy to a replicating index tracking strategy effective September 19, 2025.

The fund, which trades under ISIN code IE00BGL86Z12, will implement this strategic shift as part of its investment approach, according to a company statement released via the London Stock Exchange’s news service.

The company plans to publish an updated prospectus around the implementation date to reflect these changes.

The replicating index tracking strategy typically involves the fund holding all or substantially all securities in its underlying index in proportion to their weightings, as opposed to an optimization approach which may use a representative sample of index securities.

iShares, a BlackRock business, indicated that shareholders with questions about this change can contact regional support teams in the United Kingdom, Germany, or Switzerland through dedicated helplines and email addresses.

The announcement was made through the Regulatory News Service (RNS), the official news service of the London Stock Exchange.
