Stated objectives of 4 top ranked Real Estate sector ETFs:

PSR – The Invesco Active U.S. Real Estate ETF (Fund) structures and selects its investments primarily from a universe of securities that are included within the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index at the time of purchase. The selection methodology uses quantitative and statistical metrics to identify attractively priced securities and manage risk. The Fund will invest principally in equity real estate investment trusts (REITs). Portfolio management generally conducts a security and portfolio evaluation monthly.

REZ – The iShares Residential and Multisector Real Estate ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. residential, healthcare and self-storage real estate equities. Exposure to the U.S. residential real estate sector. Targeted access to a subset of domestic real estate stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which invest in real estate directly and trade like stocks. Use to diversify your portfolio and express a view on a specific U.S. real estate sector.

VNQ – Vanguard Real Estate ETF. Invests in stocks issued by real estate investment trusts (REITs), companies that purchase office buildings, hotels, and other real property. Goal is to closely track the return of the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index. Offers high potential for investment income and some growth; share value rises and falls more sharply than that of funds holding bonds. Appropriate for helping diversify the risks of stocks and bonds in a portfolio.

ICF – The iShares Cohen & Steers REIT ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Exposure to large real estate companies that are dominant in their respective property sectors. Access to U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs), which invest in real estate directly and trade like stocks. Use to diversify your portfolio and express a view on the U.S. real estate market.
