XLRE - The Real Estate Sector SPDR Fund

The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE ARCA:XLRE) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the performance of the real estate sector. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 95% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio of securities that make up the underlying index.

The index is comprised of companies that are classified as Real Estate companies according to the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®), a widely recognized industry framework. This means the fund provides exposure to a broad range of real estate-related businesses, including property owners, developers, and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

As a non-diversified fund, the XLRE may invest a significant portion of its assets in a smaller number of securities, which can result in greater volatility. However, this approach can also allow the fund to focus on the most promising opportunities in the real estate sector.

The fund is listed on the NYSE Arca exchange and is managed by State Street Global Advisors, a leading global asset manager. For more information, investors can visit the fund's website at http://www.spdrs.com.

The fund is domiciled in the United States, which means it is subject to US regulatory requirements and tax laws. This can provide investors with a level of transparency and regulatory oversight, as well as potential tax benefits.
