Our read on RIET
CReal estate, sorted by the paycheck. RIET tracks Hoya Capital's own high dividend yield index, roughly 100 US real estate names, and distributes monthly. Trading since 2021.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Hoya Capital High Dividend Yield Index.
Why people hold it
- The index screens on dividend yield rather than company size, so the basket is built around payout first. A genuinely different starting point in a corner full of cap-weighted trackers.
- Distributions arrive monthly, so income shows up on a bill-paying rhythm instead of in quarterly lumps.
- Roughly 100 holdings spread the risk, so one landlord's bad quarter does not steer the whole fund. The portfolio also stays tightly aligned with the index it promises to follow.
Worth knowing
- At 0.50% a year, it costs more than the typical US real estate ETF and several times what cap-weighted staples charge: SCHH at 0.07%, VNQ at 0.13%.
- Assets and trading volume are modest next to the category's giants, which tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads on the way in and out.
- Launched in 2021, so the track record does not yet cover a full rate-and-property cycle. Among the two dozen broad US real estate funds we track, it sits in the lower half overall.
