Five ETFs Ideas to Keep Up With Developing Innovative Growth Trends

Dividends have long been one of the pillars of the thesis for real estate and REIT ETF investment. While the sector is grappling with challenges dealt by rising interest rates this year, payout growth among publicly traded real estate names remains sturdy.

Dividends Still a Good Reason to Consider REIT ETFs

Infrastructure investing was all the rage last year when Congress was working on what turned out to be a bipartisan package, but it feels as though the combination of that bill becoming law and equity markets turning sour in 2022 has investors glossing over this theme.

Infrastructure Still Relevant for Long-Term Investors

Alone, inflation residing at four-decade highs is problematic for advisors and investors. Throw in the fact that many traditional inflation hedges aren't delivering the goods this year, and the soaring Consumer Price Index (CPI) is all the more painful.

GREI Merits Inflation Protection Consideration

Investors are looking for assets with inflation-fighting properties, and on that front, there are scores of exchange traded funds to consider. However, not all ETFs with inflation protection credentials are created equal, and some of the newer members of this fray are worth considering.

GREI Has the Inflation-Fighting Goods

Utilities are the epitome of a defensive sector, but these days, that's a favorable trait and with the right methodology, utilities stocks can offer surprising growth opportunities. The right methodology could come by way of the Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF (GREI).

Stability, Growth Opportunities Meet in This ETF

There are hundreds of examples of exchange traded funds doing exactly what their names imply, but there are also examples of ETF titles being deceiving. The Goldman Sachs Future Real Estate and Infrastructure Equity ETF (GREI) is in the more positive of those two categories.

This Real Estate ETF Is Unique and That's Positive

Real estate equities and the related exchange traded funds are contending with 2022 headwinds due to rising interest rates, but the silver lining in that scenario is the emergence of value opportunities among some of the sector's higher-quality names.

This ETF Holds Some Beloved Real Estate Stocks

Unbeknownst to many new and novice investors, the real estate sector sits at the center of multiple vital disruptive growth themes. That is to say that today's real estate sector isn't the one your parents and grandparents remember.
