iShares International Developed Real Estate ETF (IFGL US) – Portfolio Construction Methodology

The underlying FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed ex US Index provides free float market cap exposure to listed real estate companies and REITs in developed markets outside the US whose primary business is the ownership, trading or development of income-producing real estate. Eligible constituents must derive at least 75% of EBITDA from relevant real estate activities and pass free-float and foreign-ownership screens; companies with free float ≤5% are excluded. At each quarterly review, non-constituents must meet regional investable market cap thresholds (for example around 0.30% of Developed Asia and 0.10% of Developed EMEA regional index free float market cap) and liquidity tests requiring median monthly trading of at least 0.05% of shares in issue, with a lower 0.04% threshold for deletions. Constituents are weighted by free float–adjusted market cap and rebalanced quarterly in March, June, September and December, effective after the third Friday.
