How risky is it?

The value of the ETF can go down as well as up. You could lose money.
One way to gauge risk is to look at how much an ETF’s returns change over time. This is called “volatility”.
In general, ETFs with higher volatility will have returns that change more over time. They typically have a greater chance of
losing money and may have a greater chance of higher returns. ETFs with lower volatility tend to have returns that change less
over time. They typically have lower returns and may have a lower chance of losing money.

BlackRock has rated the volatility of this ETF as “ Medium ”.
