FYI: (This is a follow-up article.)
Location, location, location. Just like with a house or an apartment—where you have put money to work in real estate—securities can make a big difference.
The S&P 500 Real Estate sector was up 8.2% year-to-date through August, but popular Vanguard sector funds are lagging behind. While the lack of exposure to strong-performing specialty REITs have hurt Vanguard, the firm is likely to begin a move to a new, more inclusive index in 2018.
