Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

REETAiShares Global REIT ETF

WTREFWisdomTree New Economy Real Estate Fund

In short

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.

WTRE Forget malls and office towers. WTRE owns the property the digital economy runs on: data centers, cell towers, life sciences labs, last-mile warehouses and cold storage, drawn from developed markets worldwide.

Stated mandate

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

WTRE The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the WisdomTree New Economy Real Estate Index.

Why people hold it

  • 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.
  • WTRE A real theme, not a relabeled REIT index: the index screens for landlords tied to technology, science and e-commerce rather than sweeping up the whole property market.wisdomtree.com
  • Focused by design, roughly 60 names, so towers and data centers drive the fund instead of being a rounding error in a broad global REIT basket.wisdomtree.com
  • Income arrives on a quarterly distribution schedule.

Worth knowing

  • 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
  • WTRE The theme carries a premium: 0.58% a year, above the cohort median, and several times what broad global options like HAUZ (0.10%) or REET (0.14%) charge.
  • A small, thinly traded fund, which typically means wider bid-ask spreads and more price impact on bigger orders.
  • Rewired mandate: launched in 2007 as a global ex-US real estate fund, it moved to WisdomTree's current index in April 2025, so the long record predates today's portfolio.wisdomtree.com
