iShares Latin America 40 ETF (ILF US) – Portfolio Construction Methodology

The underlying S&P Latin America 40 delivers large-cap, highly liquid exposure to 40 blue-chip companies across Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. Selection emphasizes investability and trading liquidity, with the Index Committee maintaining a representative set of leading names that together capture a substantial share of each market’s float-adjusted market cap. The index may include local listings and, where appropriate, ADRs/GDRs that provide equivalent exposure. Constituents are weighted by float-adjusted market cap; the design prioritizes replication efficiency and does not target a fixed sector or country mix. Regular reviews align membership and weights with updated float and liquidity metrics, with quarterly rebalancing and committee oversight to address corporate actions and ensure continuity of coverage.
