HAUZAXtrackers International Real Estate ETF

VGSRBVert Global Sustainable Real Estate 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.

VGSR One firm, one idea: global REITs screened on emissions, energy, water and green buildings, then held at roughly market-cap weights with Dimensional sub-advising. 0.45% net of a waiver through October 31, 2028.

Stated mandate

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

VGSR The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of sustainable real estate companies.

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.

VGSR Vert wrote the screen for real estate itself: emissions, energy, water, green buildings, green leasing, disclosure. It avoids third-party ESG ratings where it can.vertfunds.com vertfunds.com 2
Dimensional Fund Advisors sub-advises. Positions sit near market-cap weights and portfolio turnover runs low, a buy-and-hold book rather than a trading one.vertfunds.com vertfunds.com 2
Launched in 2017 as a mutual fund and converted to an ETF in December 2023, keeping the same manager, sub-adviser and strategy. Long history for a boutique shop.vertfunds.com sec.gov
Fee is 0.45% net of a waiver through October 31, 2028 (0.51% gross), near the median of its 18-fund global real estate group, and the fund sits in that group's upper half.

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.

VGSR Index peers cost much less: HAUZ at 0.10%, REET at 0.14%. The fee here buys the sustainability screen and the engagement work, not wider exposure.
The screen disqualifies REITs for things like rising emissions or poor disclosure, so country and property-type weights can sit well away from a broad global REIT index.vertfunds.com vertfunds.com 2
It trades more lightly than the giant index REIT funds, so spreads can run wider at times. Distributions are paid quarterly.
