DTREFFirst Trust Alerian Disruptive Technology Real Estate ETF

REETAiShares Global REIT ETF

In short

DTRE Most 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.

REET One 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.

Stated mandate

DTRE 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.

REET The fund seeks to track a global real-estate-equity index covering publicly listed REITs in developed and emerging markets.

Why people hold it

  • DTRE 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.
  • REET 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

  • DTRE 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.
  • REET 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
