New to investing. Please help

Hi willmor and welcome to the forum.

I wrote at length about why tracker ETFs, like the iShares one you’re looking at, are tracking as opposed to mirroring the index.

There are a few reasons, including your iShares being London-traded (so, different timezone) and not always containing all the constituents. It’s one of those newbie questions that is not really explained anywhere on the internet.

I hope this helps:
