iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors
For diversification in real estate other than the house that we live in, I started periodic investment in an ETF (Exchange-traded Fund), iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors (ICF). This was one of the real estate funds recommended by Kiplinger's magazine.

Not bad.....great.
Posted by: Ashish Raje at November 29, 2004 03:51 PMalso check out CSRSX
an almost identical performance to the ICF ... has been doing great even when the regular indices have been hammered .... i suppose the dream run will slow down as interest rates rise ...
Posted by: Aditya at November 30, 2004 12:07 AMICF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Cohen and Steers portfolio. CSRSX is a mutual fund and is not available from the broker that I use (www.sharebuilder.com). Also ETFs are better in terms of tax and capital gains consequences than mutual funds. Those things matter, if this investment is outside of your retirement account, like mine.
