Portfolio Mandate and Market Coverage

The iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF seeks to track an index composed of U.S. equities in the real estate sector. The fund can be used to express a view and gain diversified access to REITs and real estate companies in the U.S.

The reference benchmark identified for the fund is the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Capped Index. Its composition provides the framework for the stated investment exposure. The ETF structure allows the underlying basket to reflect changes in index membership or active allocation, depending on the fund mandate.

Holdings and Portfolio Composition

The disclosed portfolio contained 58 holdings on 26 October 2026. The count describes the number of investments represented in the fund rather than the number of distinct business sectors.

Disclosed holdings include Welltower, Prologis Reit, American Tower Reit, Simon Property Group Reit Inc, Digital Realty Trust Reit, Equinix Reit. These positions illustrate the securities represented in the fund and should not be treated as a fixed list, because portfolio weights and constituents may change.

The property holdings cover listed real estate businesses and REITs. The reported composition includes multiple property-related segments, rather than direct ownership of physical real estate by fund shareholders.

Fund Structure, Fees and Trading

The published gross expense ratio is 0.37%. The stated distribution frequency is quarterly. The fund reported 58 portfolio positions in its latest available composition data.

The 30-day SEC yield was 3.05%, with the reference period specified in the fund materials. Yield measures should be distinguished from changes in an ETF’s share price or total return.

iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF is traded on NYSE Arca. Its exchange-traded price and the fund’s calculated net asset value are separate measures: market transactions set the former, while the latter reflects the valuation of portfolio assets and liabilities. The available dated closing price is stated in the introduction.

Portfolio Scope and Reporting Considerations

The published holdings and portfolio characteristics describe the fund at specified reporting dates. Holdings can change with index reconstitutions, issuer events, cash movements and other fund transactions. Bond funds also experience scheduled maturities and reinvestment, while equity funds adjust their constituent weights as market values and index membership change.

The key distinction in evaluating the fund’s stated exposure is between the ETF wrapper and its underlying securities. Ownership of ETF shares represents an interest in the fund rather than direct ownership of its portfolio companies or bonds. The data above describes fund structure and exposure without making a forecast or investment recommendation.
