Our read on BLDG
DMost real estate ETFs buy the biggest landlords by market cap and stop there. Cambria goes global and active instead: US, developed and emerging-market property companies screened on value, quality and momentum, then about 80 of them held.
The Fund is actively managed and invests primarily in domestic and foreign real-estate companies selected for favorable value, quality, and momentum metrics.
Why people hold it
- One ticker covers US, developed international and emerging-market real estate, not just domestic REITs.
- Actively picked on value, quality and momentum, so the largest landlord doesn't automatically become the largest position.
- 0.59% expense ratio, below the median for its actively managed US equity peer group.
- Live since 2020, pays on a quarterly schedule, and holds roughly 80 names rather than a few concentrated bets.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded. Light volume can mean wider spreads between what you pay and what the shares are worth.
- Foreign property companies add currency movement on top of real estate movement.
- One sector, run by human judgment: outcomes track the managers' screens and the property cycle, not a broad market index.
