Our read on REET
AOne ticker, roughly 300 listed REITs across developed and emerging markets, US included, for 0.14% a year. The plain-vanilla global landlord basket, at a fraction of what its category usually charges.
The fund seeks to track a global real-estate-equity index covering publicly listed REITs in developed and emerging markets.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.14% a year, well under the typical fee among global real estate funds.
- Covers global REITs in one line, US included. Ex-US peers like VNQI and HAUZ leave the home market out by design.
- Roughly 300 REITs spanning developed and emerging markets, with distributions paid quarterly.
- A multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund running since its 2014 launch, and it has hugged its index tightly.
Worth knowing
- One sector, start to finish. REIT prices move with property values and interest rates, and nothing outside real estate is here to offset that.
- Foreign listings mean overseas currency moves flow into what a US investor sees.
- The index holds REITs specifically, so real estate operators and developers not structured as REITs fall outside it.ishares.com
