The estimated transaction value for the quarter was $30.42 million, calculated using the average share price during the first quarter of 2026.

BlackRock ETF Trust - iShares International Country Rotation Active ETF provides investors with access to an actively managed portfolio that rotates allocations among international equity markets. The fund leverages BlackRock's research and investment expertise to dynamically adjust country exposures based on macroeconomic and market signals. This approach aims to capture opportunities across global markets while managing risk through active allocation.

The ETF generates revenue primarily through management fees and investment income derived from portfolio holdings.

BlackRock ETF Trust - iShares International Country Rotation Active ETF targets institutional and individual investors seeking diversified international equity exposure with active country allocation.

The iShares International Country Rotation Active ETF  offers actively managed exposure to non-U.S. equities through a country rotation strategy. Rather than tracking a fixed international benchmark, the fund shifts between developed and emerging markets based on BlackRock’s country-allocation process. As a result, CORO focuses on whether active country selection can add value compared to a standard global ex-U.S. ETF.

The flexibility of CORO has both benefits and risks. CORO can move toward markets BlackRock views as more attractive, but country calls, currency moves, and emerging-market exposure can also work against performance. The fund’s outcomes depend not only on the overall direction of international equities but also on the effectiveness of its country allocation as regional leadership changes.

For investors, CORO may work better as an active part of an international portfolio than as a simple benchmark replacement. With a 0.55% net expense ratio, the fund’s country-rotation strategy needs to prove it is worth the extra cost and complexity. The best sign would be if BlackRock’s country choices lead to better risk-adjusted returns in different market conditions.
