HAUZAXtrackers International Real Estate ETF

REETAiShares Global REIT ETF

In short

HAUZ The bargain passport for property: HAUZ owns real estate companies everywhere except the US, developed and emerging alike, for 0.10% a year. One of the cheapest ways to own the rest of the world's landlords.

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

HAUZ The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond to the performance of an iSTOXX Developed and Emerging benchmark.

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

  • HAUZ Charges 0.10% a year against a 0.50% median for global real estate funds, undercutting even the low-cost giants VNQI (0.12%) and REET (0.14%).
  • The US is deliberately left out. The index covers developed and emerging markets outside America, so it sits beside a domestic REIT holding instead of doubling it.dws.com
  • About 400 holdings across dozens of markets, weighted by free float, so it owns the world's big listed property names rather than making country bets.dws.com
  • Running since 2013 as a plain index tracker, and its portfolio lines up closely with the benchmark it promises.
  • 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

  • HAUZ One sector, one theme. Property equities move with interest rates and credit, and this fund's swings have been wider than most of what we grade.
  • Distributions arrive once or twice a year, not monthly, so the income shows up lumpy.
  • Moderate trading volume rather than headline volume, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads than the busiest global real estate funds.
  • 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
