Description

iShares STOXX Europe 600 Media UCITS ETF (DE) tracks the issuer-declared index: STOXX Europe 600 Media (Capped) TR. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.46%, plus 0.06% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is full physical replication (declared as “Replica” by the issuer); income is distributed to investors. The fund has assets of about 17 million euro, was launched on 8 July 2002 and is domiciled in Germany.

The fund’s objective — in the issuer’s words

The sub-fund iShares STOXX Europe 600 Media UCITS ETF (DE) (the “Fund”) is a passively managed exchange traded fund (ETF) that aims to track the performance of the STOXX® Europe 600 Media (Price Index) as closely as possible. In this regard, it aims to replicate the benchmark (Index). The Index measures the performance of the European Media sector as defined by the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) and is a subset of the STOXX® Europe 600 index, which comprises 600 of the largest stocks across 18 European countries. The Index rebalances quarterly with components weighted by free float market capitalisation and capped to maintain compliance with UCITS diversification standards. Free float market capitalisation is the market value of a company's readily available outstanding shares. The Fund mostly invests in equities in order to achieve the investment objective. The proportion of assets in the Fund which matches the weighting of the Index (duplication percentage) is at least 95% of the Fund's assets. It is not the Investment Manager’s intention to leverage the Fund. However, the Fund may generate minimal amounts of leverage from time to time, for example, if using financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for efficient portfolio management purposes. The price of equity securities fluctuates daily and may be influenced by factors affecting the performance of the individual companies issuing the equities, as well as by daily stock market movements, and broader economic and political developments which in turn may affect the value of the investment. The relationship between the return on the investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold the investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”).

The depositary of the Fund is State Street Bank International GmbH. Further information about the Fund can be obtained from the latest annual report and half-yearly reports of the Fund. These documents are available free of charge in German, English and certain other languages. These can be found, along with other (practical) information, including prices of units, by emailing info@iShares.de or from www.ishares.com or by calling +49 (0) 89 42729 5858.
Your shares will be distributing shares (i.e. dividend income will be paid at least annually). The Fund’s base currency is Euro. The shares are listed on one or more Stock Exchange(s). Investors can buy or sell their shares daily during business hours through an intermediary on such Stock Exchange(s). The value of the shares is related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The prevailing market price at which the shares trade on the secondary market may deviate from the value of the shares. Indicative net asset value is published on relevant stock exchanges websites.
Intended retail investor:This Fund is intended for retail investors with basic knowledge and experience, with the ability to bear losses up to the amount invested in the Fund. This Fund is suitable for medium to long term investment, though the Fund may also be suitable for shorter term exposure to the Index (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”).
Insurance benefits:The Fund does not offer any insurance benefits.

Drawdown — distance from previous peak

This isn’t the return: it shows how far the fund is below its previous peak. 0% = you’re at the peak; below zero = how much you’re down and haven’t recovered yet.

From month-end NAVs, over the fund’s full history, on the series shown in the chart (dividends reinvested where declared). Deeper colour = larger move.

Issuer-declared series with dividends reinvested: the total performance, comparable with accumulating funds. Switch it off to see the price (NAV) alone, which drops at every dividend payment.

Source: iShares. Issuer-declared historical series; inflation: Eurostat and national statistical institutes, latest available July 2026 — for later days the index stays at the last published value (institutes publish with a few weeks’ lag). The «adjusted for inflation» view expresses value in today’s purchasing power for the selected country; volatility always stays nominal, as elsewhere on the site (deflating it would add artificial swings caused by the monthly cadence of the price index). Past performance is not indicative of future results: these are facts, not a recommendation.

Tracking difference — fund vs index

How much the fund returned above (+) or below (−) its index, year by year. It measures the actual deviation: the combined effect of costs (TER and transaction), securities-lending revenue and replication optimisations — which is why it can beat the TER. Tracking difference was positive in 3 of the last 10 calendar years: a past observation, not an indication of future outperformance.

Sharpe and Sortino use the ECB main refinancing rate averaged over the period (last year: 2.21%), weighted by days in force, as the risk-free rate.
