This ETF offers exposure to global real estate markets, excluding American securities in favor of assets in developed countries in either Europe, or the Asia Pacific region. The fund also provides some level of exposure to Canada and China, helping to round out holdings across the globe. As such, IFGL has the potential to deliver broad-based access to an asset class that can deliver attractive current returns and significant appreciation for long term capital appreciation (along with meaningful volatility and risk). IFGL has a reasonable level of diversification with more than 175 holdings spread across a variety of countries. IFGL may be appropriate for investors looking to compliment their American real estate holdings with similar exposure abroad but it is unlikely to function as a one stop shop for some due to its exclusion of American assets. Nevertheless, thanks to its broad exposure and its relatively cheap expense ratio, IFGL could make for a solid choice for a number of investors who are in it for the long term. .
