Fund Focus: Vanguard REIT ETF: VNQ

in Fund Discussions
FYI: Real estate securities continue to shore up their popularity with ETF investors, with demand for these income-producing assets accelerating in recent months.

Vanguard REIT (VNQ) saw $860.4 million net inflow in the month ended July 25 to take its asset haul this year to $4.12 billion, according to analytics firm XTF.com. Investors have poured fresh money into VNQ every month since the February stock market pullback, including $1.33 billion in June alone.

    US REIT sector is one of the brighter sector this year. YTD return of VNQ is up 16.8%.

    Real estate funds remains 14% our of equity side.
    Side note: the past several weeks have seen very strong swings in pricing on a daily basis close. One half of a percent and greater in both the up and down side of pricing.
    We're staying put with our real estate until something indicates it is time to leave the area.
