This actively-managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) specializes in a diversified portfolio, focusing on investments in publicly-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The fund targets assets listed primarily on U.S. stock exchanges, with a moderate emphasis on markets in Canada, Europe, and Asia. It is designed to emulate the portfolio quality of select public, non-traded REITs, determined through a mix of quantitative and qualitative evaluations by the fund's sub-adviser. Although this fund operates with a non-diversified status, it aims to provide investors access to a carefully selected mix of real estate investments.
The fund offers a focused range of investment products and services tailored to individuals and institutions interested in real estate and mortgage-backed securities. Each product and service is designed to provide investment opportunities in the real estate sector, with a strategic approach to diversification and return on investment.
This service focuses on investing in REITs listed primarily on U.S. exchanges, and to a lesser extent, international stock exchanges. REITs are companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate across a range of property sectors. These investments offer the potential for dividend income, along with the long-term appreciation of real estate assets.
Another key component of the fund's strategy involves investing in MBS, which are securities backed by mortgage loans. MBS investments allow the fund to participate in the residential and commercial mortgage markets, potentially providing regular income through interest payments. These securities are selected primarily from issuances on U.S. stock exchanges, although the fund also considers options from Canada, Europe, and Asia to a lesser extent.
