Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) and State Street Real Estate Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLRE) offer different approaches to real estate investing. VNQ provides broader diversification with 139 holdings and a higher 3.7% dividend yield but charges 0.13% in expenses. XLRE focuses on 30 large-cap stocks with a lower 0.08% expense ratio. Both delivered similar 5-year returns, but Vanguard's larger $70.8B asset base and higher yield make it the more solid long-term choice despite its slightly higher fees.
Investors are still buying REIT ETFs like VNQ and SCHH despite the rising fears that the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates.
