CleaRank Financial AI analysis of IWF
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (IWF) sends a mixed trend signal: at $122.28, it trades 1.17% below its 50-day average of $123.73 but 2.39% above its 200-day average of $119.43. The price sits near the top of its 52-week range, 5.79% below the high of $129.80 and 19.61% above the low of $102.23. With the 50-day average 3.60% above the 200-day, the averages have not yet caught up with the weaker price.
The recent dip sits within a longer run of gains. Over the past month the price slipped 3.14%, while it climbed 4.98% over three months and 0.85% over the past year. Momentum is middling: the 14-day RSI sits at 45.3, in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is negative.
- The two nearest levels to watch are the 20-day EMA, at $123.46 above the price, and the 200-day SMA, at $119.43 below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 45.3, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Costs compound: at 0.18% a year, IWF charges $18.00 on every $10,000 invested.
Trend signals point in different directions. IWF trades above its 200-day average of $119.43 but beneath its 50-day average of $123.73. Should the price close above the 50-day, both signals would turn up; a close below the 200-day would turn both down. On the way up, the first level met is the 20-day EMA at $123.46, and on the way down, the 200-day SMA at $119.43.

IWF price prediction 2030
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in IWF, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in IWF today could grow to about $14,455 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $24,932 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $8,381. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.34% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
IWF 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $177 for IWF by 2030 in the base case, from $122 today (1.4x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $102. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on IWF's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $102 | $134 | $176 | |
| 2028 | $100.00 | $147 | $216 | |
| 2029 | $101 | $161 | $258 | |
| 2030 | $102 | $177 | $305 |
