Our read on DTRE
FMost global real estate funds own offices, malls and apartments. DTRE runs a concentrated book of roughly 30 names built around one idea: property tied to technology-driven demand.
The fund seeks to track the pre-fee performance of the Alerian Disruptive Technology Real Estate Index and normally invests at least 90% of net assets in the index's common stocks, REITs, and depositary receipts.
Why people hold it
- One idea, not a sampler: roughly 30 global holdings selected by the Alerian Disruptive Technology Real Estate Index rather than a broad property basket.
- Rules-based by design. At least 90% of net assets normally sit in the index's common stocks, REITs and depositary receipts.ftportfolios.com
- Global mandate with a quarterly distribution schedule, and the depositary-receipt sleeve lets it hold listings outside the US.
Worth knowing
- The 0.60% expense ratio sits above the typical global real estate fund and well above plain index peers such as REET (0.14%) and VNQI (0.12%).
- A small fund that trades thinly, so spreads and the cost of moving size can run higher than with the category's heavyweights.
- Concentration cuts both ways: with roughly 30 names on one theme, a single holding or storyline moves this fund more than a broad REIT index.
