announced
the launch of the first highly-
liquid, real estate indices. The
TR/GPR indices are designed
specifically to be tracked by
ETFs looking to offer investors
exposure to real estate markets
globally. The new suite of real
estate indices provides broad
global diversification, including
emerging markets. The TR/GPR
Global 100 Index is composed
of the 100 most liquid real estate
stocks worldwide. Furthermore,
three regional variants for
increased focus are also
available; the TR/GPR Americas
40 Index, TR/GPR APAC 30
Index and TR/GPR EMEA 30
Index. Customised indices to
reflect a particular mandate or
strategy can also be designed.
The TR/GPR indices can
be used to build real estate
ETFs that closely represent
the property market, to track
real estate performance or
simply for benchmarking
purposes. In addition to
high liquidity, customers
benefit from transparent,
rules-based methodology
and independently-calculated
indices, ensuring that the
underlying stocks respect the
publically available index rules.
The constituents of the TR/GPR
indices focus on companies
involved predominantly in real
estate investment, rather than
pure property development. For
