Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: U.S. Diversified Real Estate ETF (PPTY) has a surprisingly obvious focus: location.
Funds that invest in shares of real-estate investment trusts often pick those REITs based largely on market capitalization. PPTY instead focuses on “common-sense real-estate factors” such as the location of the REITs’ holdings, along with the type of property they hold and the REITs’ debt levels. says Fred Stoops, head of real estate at Vident Financial, which manages the fund.
