The Markets in Review

Dear Shareholder,

Significant economic headwinds emerged during the 12-month reporting period ended March 31, 2023, as investors navigated changing economic conditions and volatile markets. The U.S. economy shrank in the first half of 2022 before returning to modest growth in the second half of the year, marking a shift to a more challenging post-reopening economic environment. Changes in consumer spending patterns and a tight labor market led to elevated inflation, which reached a 40-year high before beginning to moderate.

Equity prices fell as interest rates rose, particularly during the first half of the reporting period. Both large- and small-capitalization U.S. stocks declined, although equities began to recover in the second half of the period as inflation eased and economic growth resumed. Emerging market stocks and international equities from developed markets declined overall, pressured by rising interest rates and volatile commodities prices.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose during the reporting period, driving its price down, as investors reacted to fluctuating inflation data and attempted to anticipate its impact on future interest rate changes. The corporate bond market also faced inflationary headwinds, and higher interest rates led to rising borrowing costs for corporate issuers.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), acknowledging that inflation has been more persistent than expected, raised interest rates eight times. Furthermore, the Fed wound down its bond-buying programs and accelerated the reduction of its balance sheet.

Restricted labor supply kept inflation elevated even as other inflation drivers, such as goods prices and energy costs, moderated. While economic growth slowed in the last year, we believe that taming inflation requires a more substantial decline that lowers demand to a level more in line with the economy’s productive capacity. Although the Fed has decelerated the pace of interest rate hikes, we believe that it still seems determined to get inflation back to target. With this in mind, we believe the possibility of a U.S. recession in the near-term is high, but the dimming economic outlook has not yet been fully reflected in current market prices. We believe investors should expect a period of higher volatility as markets adjust to the new economic reality and policymakers attempt to adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Turmoil in the banking sector late in the period highlighted the potential for the knock-on effects of substantially higher interest rates to disrupt markets with little warning.

While we favor an overweight to equities in the long term, we prefer an underweight stance on equities overall in the near term. Expectations for corporate earnings remain elevated, which seems inconsistent with the possibility of a recession. Nevertheless, we are overweight on emerging market stocks as we believe a weakening U.S. dollar provides a supportive backdrop. We also see long-term opportunities in credit, where we believe that valuations are appealing and higher yields provide attractive income, although we are neutral on credit in the near term, as we’re concerned about tightening credit and financial conditions. However, we believe there are still some strong opportunities for a six- to twelve-month horizon, particularly short-term U.S. Treasuries, global inflation-linked bonds, and emerging market bonds denominated in local currency.

Overall, our view is that investors need to think globally, position themselves to be prepared for a decarbonizing economy, and be nimble as market conditions change. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit iShares.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.

Sincerely,

Market Overview

 

iShares Trust

Domestic Market Overview

U.S. stocks declined for the 12 months ended March 31, 2023 (“reporting period”), when the Russell 3000® Index, a broad measure of U.S. equity market performance, returned -8.58%. Elevated inflation and rapid tightening of monetary policy dampened growth and weighed on equities. Higher interest rates drove bond yields higher and increased borrowing costs for businesses and consumers. Equities began to recover in the second half of the reporting period, as the broader economy remained resilient and the pace of inflation declined. In March 2023, two banks suddenly failed, representing the second and third largest bank failures in U.S. history by asset value. This drove concern among investors about the resiliency of the financial system in the face of rapidly rising interest rates. However, government agencies acted swiftly to organize a sale of the failed banks’ assets and inject liquidity, and equity prices recovered.

Inflation was a significant driver of the economic outlook. As the reporting period began, the consumer price index, a widely followed measure of inflation, stood at multi-decade highs. Strong consumer spending and a tight labor market, along with continued supply chain disruptions in Asia, combined to drive prices higher. But the rate of inflation began to decline as the reporting period wore on, decelerating for nine consecutive months beginning in July 2022. Nonetheless, inflation remained elevated by historic standards, and higher prices negatively impacted both consumers and businesses.

The U.S. economy recovered from a decline in the first half of 2022 to post modest growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2022. Consumers continued to power the economy with growing spending, despite higher prices for many consumer goods and services. The strong labor market supported spending, as unemployment remained very low, at one point dropping to the lowest recorded level since 1969. Furthermore, the labor force participation rate—which measures the total proportion of employed persons of working age—rose, indicating that more people were being drawn into the labor force. Amid tightening labor supply, wages rose significantly, with the largest gains at the lower end of the wage spectrum.

To contain inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tightened monetary policy rapidly, raising short-term interest rates eight times over the course of the reporting period. The pace of tightening accelerated as the Fed twice stepped up the increment of increase before reducing it again as inflation began to subside. The Fed also started to reduce the size of its balance sheet by reducing the store of U.S. Treasuries it had accumulated to stabilize markets in the early phases of the coronavirus pandemic. While the Fed indicated that more tightening could be needed to achieve its long-term inflation goal, it sounded a more cautious note about the potential for further interest rate increases near the end of the reporting period.

Despite economic headwinds, corporate profits remained robust, and many companies were able to sufficiently raise prices to preserve profit margins even in the face of rising labor and input costs. Nonetheless, profits declined overall in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the yield curve (a graphical representation of U.S. Treasury rates at different maturities) inverted, a sign that markets were concerned about the impact of higher borrowing costs on the economy. Furthermore, dwindling personal savings and rising household debt raised questions about the sustainability of consumer spending as an engine of economic growth.

Portfolio Management Commentary

U.S. stocks declined for the reporting period, as high inflation and tighter financial conditions impeded economic growth and weighed on equities. The consumer discretionary sector detracted the most from the Index’s return, primarily due to weakness in the internet and direct marketing retail industry. The pandemic-related rise in e-commerce waned, as more workers returned to the office and brick-and-mortar retailers gained market share. Slowing revenue growth from data cloud services further pressured the industry, as business customers reduced expenditures amid economic uncertainty. The automobiles industry also declined amid concerns about the market for electric vehicles (“EVs”) in the weakening economy. While EV sales grew, production did not meet analysts’ expectations.

The information technology sector detracted significantly from the Index’s return, as sharply higher interest rates lowered the current value of future earnings. The software and services industry declined, as cuts to corporate information technology budgets reduced revenue growth. Slowing growth in cloud-based software sales, which provide software companies with steady revenue streams, further constrained earnings. Changing consumer behavior patterns pressured the IT services industry, as a return to in-person spending meant slowing revenue growth for online payment platforms.

The financials sector also detracted amid tightening financial conditions. The banking industry faced significant challenges as the potential impact of a slowing economy outweighed the benefits of being able to charge more for loans. Bank stocks were further pressured late in the reporting period after the sudden failure of two regional banks. The financial services industry also faced headwinds, as declining prices for stocks and bonds reduced assets under management, diminishing profits.

On the upside, the energy sector contributed to performance. Relatively high average prices of energy commodities following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine boosted the oil, gas, and consumable fuels industry.

Portfolio Management Commentary

Value-oriented mid-capitalization U.S. stocks declined for the reporting period, as high inflation and tighter financial conditions impeded economic growth and weighed on equities. The financials sector detracted the most from the Index’s performance amid tightening financial conditions. The banking industry faced significant challenges as the potential impact of a slowing economy outweighed the benefits of being able to charge more for loans. Persistently high inflation led to significant tightening from the Fed, and investors became concerned about the long-term effect of this tightening on loan growth and credit losses. Bank stocks were further pressured late in the reporting period after the sudden failure of two regional banks, as markets digested the long-term implications of the disruption, including a potential slowdown in lending activity.

The real estate sector detracted significantly from the Index’s return, as higher interest rates and changing usage patterns weighed on the sector. Equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) were the largest source of weakness. REITs typically take on substantial debt to finance the purchase of the properties they manage. Higher interest rates make financing more expensive for REITs. Furthermore, higher interest rates also meant increased bond yields, making dividend yields from REITs comparatively less attractive to income-oriented investors, although many REITs raised dividends during the reporting period.

The information technology sector also detracted. Interest rates rose sharply during the reporting period, which reduced the current value of future earnings. Furthermore, increased concerns about economic growth lowered investors’ growth expectations for information technology stocks. The software and services industry declined, as cuts to corporate information technology budgets pressured revenue growth.

On the upside, the industrials sector contributed to the Index’s return, driven by the machinery industry. Improvements in machine efficiency and increased demand for automation boosted industry revenue.

About Fund Performance

 

Past performance is not an indication of future results. Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and trading in many instruments has been disrupted. These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of each Fund’s investments. As a result, current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at iShares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. Beginning August 10, 2020, the price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is the closing price. Prior to August 10, 2020, Market Price was determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of each Fund may incur the following charges: (1) transactional expenses, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing expenses, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense examples shown (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the end of the period) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other funds.

The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in the Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as brokerage commissions and other fees paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.
