iShares Cohen & Steers REIT ETF (ICF)
Description
The iShares Cohen & Steers REIT ETF offers comprehensive exposure to the U.S. real estate market by investing in a diverse mix of REITs. The fund covers a broad range of property types without prioritizing any specific sector or strategy. However, its expense ratio is relatively higher compared to other diversified U.S. real estate ETFs, which may be a consideration for cost-conscious investors. Despite holding fewer stocks than other funds, it delivers comparable diversification across the real estate sector.
