JRE

JRE actively invests in the US real estate industry and real estate-related industries. The fund provides exposure through common stocks, preferred stocks, and other equity securities like REITs and REIT-like entities (such as real estate operating companies). To be included in the fund, constituents must (i) derive 50% of their revenue from real estate activities (ii) have at least 50% of their book value in real estate assets, or (iii) have real estate holdings that account for more than 50% of the company's value. The portfolio manager selects securities using a "bottom-up” approach, utilizing knowledge of issuers, and other factors like company's balance sheet, valuation, strength of management, and risk-adjusted returns. JRE may invest up to 15% in Canadian issuers and may also invest in companies through IPOs.
