VNQ VS. FREL: SIMILAR REIT INDEXES, SIMILAR RESULTS

Nov. 04, 2023 11:00 AM ETFidelity® MSCI Real Estate Index ETF (FREL) ETF, VNQ

SUMMARY

 * The Vanguard Real Estate ETF invests based on the MSCI US Investable Market
   Real Estate 25/50 Index.
 * The Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF (FREL) invests based on the MSCI US
   Investable Market Real Estate 25/25 Index.
 * This article reviews both indices and ETFs and compares the ETF current
   allocations and performance history.
 * While experts say history currently favors REITs over stocks, with several
   views presented, I give both ETFs a Hold at this time.
