It has amassed assets over $1.56 billion, making it one of the larger ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.Why Large Cap BlendLarge cap companies typically have a market capitalization above $10 billion. They tend to be stable companies with predictable cash flows and are usually less volatile than mid and small cap companies.Typically holding a combination of both growth and value stocks, blend ETFs also demonstrate qualities seen in value and growth investments.CostsSince cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.15%, making it one of the cheaper products in the space.It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.10%.Sector Exposure and Top HoldingsWhile ETFs offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, a deep look into a fund's holdings is a valuable exercise.

Financials and Healthcare round out the top three.Looking at individual holdings, Apple Inc (AAPL) accounts for about 8.13% of total assets, followed by Microsoft Corp (MSFT) and Nvidia Corp (NVDA).The top 10 holdings account for about 40.09% of total assets under management.Performance and RiskIWL seeks to match the performance of the Russell Top 200 Index before fees and expenses.
