XLRE

The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLRE) invests in U.S. equities that are classified as real‑estate companies under the GICS, primarily large‑cap REITs and real‑estate management and development firms, covering sub‑sectors such as specialized, health‑care, retail, residential, industrial and logistics properties. It follows a rules‑based, full‑replication approach that seeks to match the price and yield performance of the Real Estate Select Sector Index by holding the index constituents in roughly the same market‑cap weights. XLRE provides concentrated exposure to the U.S. real‑estate sector, making it suitable for investors who want to add real‑estate equity and potential dividend income to a diversified portfolio and who are comfortable with the higher sector‑specific risk that comes from focusing on a single industry.
