Im considering adding US SmallCap to my ISA portfolio and have been reviewing the ETFs out there. I really just want a passive ETF that tracks the Russell 2000 or as near as possible.

The one I am most likely to pick (so far) is iShares S&P SmallCap 600 UCITS ETF (ISP6), however Im disappointed to find it distributes income as I would much prefer an accumulation version. It must be an ETF to keep my platform charges down (currently at the charge cap with AJBell).

What other ETFs do you guys use for US SmallCap? Any thoughts or comments on my thinking?

  • For US Small Companies I use the Investment Trust: JP Morgan US Smaller Co's IT (JUSC) rather than an ETF. I presume your platform costs will be the same for an IT or ETF and it is only funds that are a problem ?
    If you want an ETF I have found:
    iShares MSCI USA Small Cap UCITS ETF (CUSS).
    This is an accumulation ETF

    I have no experience of CUSS so please do your own research.
    Note that the Pounds Sterling version of this ETF has the ticker CUS1.
  • ETFS Russell 2000 US Small Cap GO UCITS ETF (GBP)
    It's a Russell 2000 ETF, priced in Sterling, and traded on the London Stock Exchange. Dividends are reinvested.
    Don't know how much you plan to invest, but the current price is around £4,600 per share!

    Thanks, I will take a look.

    Also the current share price is actually about 4,600GBX, which is ofcourse £46.00 not £4,600!
