iShares S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index ETF

The iShares S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index ETF is a Canadian exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate the performance of the S&P/TSX Capped REIT Index, providing exposure to the real estate investment trust (REIT) market in Canada. This ETF is designed to offer investors a diversified portfolio of Canadian REIT equities, which primarily invest in income-generating real estate assets across various sectors including commercial, residential, and industrial properties. The "capped" feature of the index ensures that no single REIT constitutes more than a specified percentage of the index, which helps to mitigate concentration risk. This financial instrument plays a critical role for investors looking to gain access to the real estate market while enjoying potential dividend income, making it significant in the broader context of the Canadian investment landscape.
