Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

CLIMDClimate Global-Climate Resilient REIT Index ETF

REMBiShares Mortgage Real Estate ETF

In short

CLIM Most real estate ETFs slice the sector by property type. CLIM sorts REITs by climate resilience and tracks an index built on that idea, a genuinely narrow corner of the group with a fee to match.

REM Most real estate ETFs buy the landlords. REM buys the lenders: a few dozen US mortgage REITs that hold residential and commercial mortgage debt, packaged in one index-tracking ticker since 2007.

Stated mandate

CLIM The Fund seeks investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the total return of its benchmark.

REM The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. REITs that hold residential and commercial mortgages.

Why people hold it

  • CLIM REITs and related real estate companies chosen by a climate resilience screen rather than property type or geography. Nothing else in its real estate ETF group is built that way.
  • Rules-based, not manager discretion: it tracks the Climate Resilient REIT Index and seeks that index's total return before fees and expenses.
  • The basket is the strong part. On holdings quality and spread across names, it stands near the top of its real estate ETF group.
  • REM A genuinely different engine from the sector's giants: it tracks REITs that hold mortgages, not the equity-REIT landlords inside VNQ, SCHH or XLRE.
  • Trading since 2007, so it has run through the housing crash and every rate cycle since on the same rules-based FTSE Nareit mortgage index.
  • One ticker instead of hand-picking individual mortgage lenders, from the iShares shelf, moderately traded, with distributions paid quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • CLIM 0.90% a year, well above the median real estate ETF fee. NURE (0.35%) and MORT (0.43%) cost a fraction, though neither runs a climate screen.
  • Launched in 2026, still small and thinly traded. Light volume can mean a wider gap between buy and sell prices at the moment you trade.
  • Cash comes back once or twice a year, not monthly or quarterly.
  • REM At 0.48% a year it costs more than the typical real estate ETF (median 0.37%) and multiples of broad REIT funds like SCHH at 0.07% or VNQ at 0.13%.
  • Concentrated by design: a few dozen names in one niche, so the largest mortgage lenders carry a big share of the fund.
  • Not a stand-in for broad property exposure. It holds the mortgage side of real estate, so it moves with credit and rate conditions more than with rents.
