Description

The fund is passively managed to provide exposure to major real estate investment trusts (REITs) in Canada. To be eligible for inclusion, companies should be TSX-listed and must meet investability and liquidity requirements, including a minimum market capitalization of CAD 800 million. The index weights the resulting portfolio equally, instead of by market-cap, which lowers single-name blow-up risk and may cause a tilt to smaller firms. The index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis.
