USRT Profile
The iShares Core U.S. REIT ETF is designed to offer investors broad exposure to the U.S. real estate investment trust (REIT) market by tracking a specific index. The fund generally invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities that make up its underlying index, along with investments that exhibit economic characteristics substantially similar to those of the index components. This strategy ensures that the fund closely mirrors the performance of its benchmark.
The underlying index measures the performance of U.S.-listed equity REITs, which are companies that own, operate, or finance income-generating real estate across various sectors. The index includes REITs that are involved in diverse property types such as residential, commercial, industrial, and specialized real estate sectors. By tracking this index, the ETF provides investors with a comprehensive exposure to the U.S. real estate market.
The fund's investment approach involves holding a diversified portfolio of REITs to reflect the index's performance accurately. It focuses on REITs with a broad market presence and significant real estate holdings, providing investors with access to a wide range of property types and real estate markets. This diversified approach helps manage risk and capture the overall performance of the U.S. real estate sector.
