IS3S — iShares Edge MSCI World Value Factor UCITS ETF
iShares Edge MSCI World Value Factor UCITS ETF: what it is, what it costs, and what its EUR line on Xetra actually returned — dividends reinvested.
Every figure here is in euros — what you'd actually pocket buying on Xetra. Fund fact sheets usually headline returns in US dollars, which can look very different: in 2025 a world tracker rose about 23% in dollars but only about 9% in euros, because the euro gained roughly 13% against the dollar. Here's the full story, year by year.
IS3S in plain words
IS3S is the iShares Edge MSCI World Value Factor UCITS ETF from iShares. It tracks the MSCI World Enhanced Value Index and costs 0.25% a year, quietly deducted from returns. No cash payouts — IS3S is an accumulating fund. Dividends are reinvested inside the fund and show up as a higher share price instead of landing in your account.
€10,000 invested at the start of 2016 was worth €22,917 by the end of 2025 — an average of 8.6% per year over 10 full years, dividends reinvested. Its best full year so far was 2021 (+30.38%), its worst 2014 (-16.73%) — the range you sign up for.
IWVL is the London (USD) listing of the same fund, ISIN IE00BP3QZB59 — IS3S is its EUR line on Xetra.
