iShares Select U.S. REIT ETFICF

ICF is an iShares ETF that tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index , not an AI-powered REIT overlord. The issuer’s marketing pages promise exposure to AI growth and innovation, but the fund’s mandate and holdings are squarely in bricks-and-mortar property trusts that own shopping centres, offices, data-centre real estate, and cell towers-exactly the kind of assets you can kick, not prompt. The wrapper’s job is to charge 0.43% per year to hold that basket. (source: iShares official ETF centre, https://www.ishares.com/)

What ICF actually is a collection of roughly 40 U.S. REITs selected by the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index methodology. The index selects companies that derive at least 90% of their revenues from real-estate investment trust activities, so the fund’s holdings skew toward traditional property sectors rather than futuristic AI infrastructure. The issuer’s AI product pages are an adjacent marketing theme, not a description of the ICF basket.

BlackRock’s global disclaimers clarify that most UK regulatory protections do not apply to iShares products, and compensation will not be available under the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the event of default. The issuer’s product rail also notes in which countries the iShares products are registered or authorised for public distribution and on which principal European stock exchanges the products are listed. These disclosures sit alongside the fund’s index methodology and holdings, not inside them.

On 26 July 2026, ICF’s primary exchange listing is on Nasdaq under ticker ICF. The fund’s expense ratio is 0.43% per annum and its assets under management are published on Nasdaq’s market activity page for the ETF. The fund’s tracking method is full replication of the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index, meaning it holds the index constituents directly rather than using derivatives.

The SEC EDGAR fund search confirms ICF’s regulatory status and fund structure but does not change the index composition or the 0.43% fee. The FINRA Fund Analyzer provides additional fee and expense breakdowns for U.S.-domiciled ETFs, including ICF, but it does not alter the fund’s mandate or holdings. These sources describe the wrapper and its costs, not the underlying real-estate market itself. (source: SEC, https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/#/q=ICF; FINRA, https://tools.finra.org/fund_analyzer/)

For a current view of ICF’s holdings and index rules, the issuer’s ETF centre is the primary source. The fund’s fact sheet and index methodology describe the selection criteria, reconstitution schedule, and weighting methodology, which are unchanged from prior periods unless the issuer publishes an update. The issuer’s product pages do not disclose the index’s specific constituent weights or the fund’s tracking error in real time, so those figures must be taken from the issuer’s official fact sheet or index provider.

ICF’s liquidity is determined by trading volume on Nasdaq and other exchanges where it is listed. The fund’s market activity page shows its daily traded volume and bid-ask spread, which are the practical measures of liquidity for investors. The issuer’s marketing does not guarantee liquidity or narrow spreads; those depend on market microstructure and trading interest. (source: Nasdaq, https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/etf/icf)
