Our read on ICF
BSince 2001 this fund has owned a short list of about 30 big U.S. landlords instead of the whole property sector. Cohen & Steers builds the index, iShares runs the wrapper, and concentration is the feature, not an accident.
The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. real estate investment trusts, offering diversified exposure to the U.S. real estate market.
Why people hold it
- Concentrated by design: about 30 large U.S. REITs drawn from the Cohen & Steers Realty Majors Index, so the biggest landlords carry real weight rather than getting diluted.ishares.com
- Charges 0.32% a year, below the median fee for U.S. real estate ETFs.
- Tracks its index very closely, one of the stronger implementations in the U.S. real estate group.
- Running since 2001 through multiple property cycles, at multi-billion-dollar scale, paying distributions quarterly.
Worth knowing
- Not the cheap option next to the index giants: SCHH, VNQ and USRT all charge a fraction of its fee.
- With about 30 names, a single landlord or property type can steer results more than in a fund that owns the full sector.
- Moderately traded rather than a volume leader among REIT funds.
