The ETF.net DPRE Grade
Score 40 of 100 sits in the C band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on DPRE
CMost real estate ETFs buy REIT common stock and stop there. DPRE is actively run with income as the stated first goal, free to roam across REIT shares, preferred securities and property debt, in the US and abroad.
The Fund seeks high current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.
Why people hold it
- Income leads the mandate: high current income is the primary objective, capital appreciation the secondary one, and the fund distributes quarterly.
- Works the whole capital stack, holding REIT equity, preferred securities and real estate debt rather than common stock alone.
- At 0.59%, the fee sits below the median for its active US equity peer group, unusual for a specialist active sleeve.
- The passport is open: global real estate companies, including emerging market issuers, sit inside the mandate alongside US property.
Worth knowing
- A small fund that trades thinly, which usually means wider bid-ask spreads than the giant index REIT funds.
- Launched in 2026 and actively managed, so there is little live history and outcomes ride on the managers' calls rather than an index.
- Roughly 60 positions, with rate-sensitive preferreds and debt in the mix, so single names and interest rates carry more weight than in a broad index.
