Rally In The Dark
U.S. equity markets rebounded this past week as the White House resumed negotiations with China following a major tariff threat, while investors focused on bank earnings that raised some eyebrows. Consistent with the "risk-off" theme that has prevailed amid the ongoing federal government shutdown with no resolution in sight, short-term Treasury yields receded to the lowest levels in three years. Buoyed by a dip in benchmark rates, real estate equities led the rebound this week after REIT earnings season began on a positive note with surprisingly strong industrial REIT results.
The State Of REITs: August 2025 Edition
After a strong June (+2.56%), the REIT sector recovery stalled in July (-1.17%) as REITs fell to a -6.42% year-to-date return. Micro cap REITs (-0.20%) outperformed in July while mid caps (-1.18%), small caps (-1.33%) and large caps (-1.55%) averaged slightly deeper negative returns. 60.65% of REIT securities had a negative total return in July.
Why Consider U.S. REITs Now?
Most US REITs make nearly 90% of their revenue domestically, compared to 72% for typical U.S. stocks. Healthcare, residential, and needs-based retail are less affected by trade disruptions, while office, lodging, and timber are more vulnerable. They're trading at a -2.79x earnings multiple discount to US stocks - one of the widest gaps in decades.

Overview
This fund is specifically designed to offer investors exposure to the U.S. real estate market through the acquisition of securities in real estate investment trusts (REITs). It seeks to replicate the performance of its underlying index, which is a free-float adjusted market-cap weighted index focused on the performance of U.S. equity REIT securities. By investing at least 80% of its assets in securities included in this index, the fund aims to provide a representative sample of the U.S. real estate investment market. The index's market-cap weighting ensures that the fund's portfolio will shift in accordance with the market size of its components, providing investors with a dynamic and current representation of the U.S. REIT landscape. The inclusion of the ability to invest up to 20% of its assets in exchange-traded futures as a means to seek performance that tracks the underlying index further enhances the fund's flexibility in managing its investment strategy and achieving its objectives.
Products and Services
- REIT Securities Investment
As the cornerstone of its investment strategy, the fund primarily invests in securities within the U.S. Equity Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) landscape. These include a wide range of REITs that own, operate, or finance income-generating real estate across various sectors, offering investors diversified exposure to the real estate market through publicly traded securities.
- Market-Cap Weighted Index Tracking
The fund aims to closely mirror the performance of a free-float adjusted, market-cap weighted index designed to reflect the performance of U.S. equity REIT securities. This method provides a scalable and balanced approach, allocating more weight to larger companies within the real estate segment, thereby likely mirroring the performance of the larger real estate market efficiently.
- Exchange-Traded Futures Investment
To potentially enhance returns and better align the fund's performance with its underlying index, up to 20% of its assets may be allocated to exchange-traded futures. This investment approach allows the fund to engage in strategies that can hedge against market volatility or seek gains, offering an additional layer of flexibility and opportunity for the fund's management strategy.
