The ETF lowered its management fee and is
tracking a new underlying index, the IQ CBRE NextGen Real Estate
Index
IndexIQ has announced that effective today, the IQ U.S. Real
Estate Small Cap ETF (the “Fund”) has completed the transition to
tracking the IQ CBRE NextGen Real Estate Index (the “New Underlying
Index”) and has been renamed as the IQ CBRE NextGen Real Estate
ETF. As part of the transition, the management fee has decreased
from 0.69% to 0.60%.
Under these changes, the Fund seeks to provide exposure to real
estate sectors and companies that are expected to benefit from
large trends (“NextGen Trends”) affecting the global economy over a
secular, multi-year time horizon. The New Underlying Index will
primarily provide exposure to U.S.-based companies, but also
includes securities of issuers based in foreign markets. The Index
will typically be made up of 75-150 securities of real estate
issuers and will be rebalanced quarterly.
The NextGen Trends are focused on property sectors aligned with
the following:
- Digital Transformation: Companies in the technology real
estate sector owning, operating, and developing cell tower, fiber
network, and data center assets which enable the growth of data and
digital communications
- eCommerce Revolution: Companies in the industrial sector
owning, operating, and developing logistics facilities where
products are stored and shipped to the end user and may benefit
from the long-term growth of online sales
- Generational Change: Companies within the healthcare and
residential real estate sectors that provide exposure to life
science facilities, skilled nursing facilities, senior living
facilities, multifamily residential, single family for rent, and
student housing to capitalize on demand from aging populations,
increased healthcare spending, and rising home ownership
costs.
Ian Forrest, Head of IndexIQ said:
“There’s been a big shift in the real estate market particularly
in the last couple of years, and we’re now witnessing a new wave of
trends emerge within the sector that we believe are valuable to
have in the portfolio. It remains a priority for us to regularly
evaluate our lineup and enhance our product solutions to best fit
the needs of our clients. We’re excited to be leveraging the
tenured expertise from global real estate leader CBRE Investment
Management to help identify these trends and build this new Index
to best reflect the changing real estate market.”
Joseph Smith, Chief Investment Officer, Listed Strategies of
CBRE Investment Management, said:
“This is an exciting opportunity to align with IndexIQ to better
position this ETF and partner in offering the IQ CBRE NextGen Real
Estate Index as the new benchmark for the ROOF ETF. There are
several NextGen trends reshaping the real estate landscape, and
this index has been designed to capture them in a global,
diversified way.”

Disclosures:
About Risk:
All investments are subject to risk and will fluctuate in
value.
Foreign Securities Risk
Investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks
beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These
additional risks include greater market volatility, the
availability of less reliable financial information, higher
transactional and custody costs, taxation by foreign governments,
decreased market liquidity and political instability.
Industry/Sector Concentration Risk
The Fund’s investment of a large percentage of its assets in the
securities of issuers within the same industry or sector means that
an adverse economic, business or political development may affect
the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more
broadly diversified.
Real Estate Sector Risk
Companies in the real estate sector may be adversely affected
by, among other things, general and local economic conditions,
intense competition, overbuilding, supply and demand, interest
rates, environmental liability, zoning laws, regulatory limitations
on rents, property taxes, operating expenses and limited
diversification.
Small- and/or Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk
Small- and mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable
to adverse general market or economic developments, and their
securities may be less liquid and may experience greater price
volatility than larger, more established companies.
Consider the Funds' investment objectives, risks, charges and
expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus and the
