REIT index performance can be a leading indicator for the asset class as a whole. Our latest Asset Allocation recorded a strong quarter for listed real estate, showing signs of long-awaited resurgence. REITs send encouraging signals. A deeper analysis of sectoral returns since the Great Financial Crisis reveals no clear pattern, vindicating broad sectoral exposure.

Listed Real Estate: Searching For Positive Signals While Reviewing The Case For REITs

REET offers exposure to both market-leading U.S. and international REITs. An expectation of declining interest rates and a weaker U.S. Dollar should be positive for the market segment. REET is well-positioned to rally going forward.

The history of construction spending since 1993 reveals that this data tends to weaken prior to recessions. For a recent dip in Residential Construction attributed to the rise in mortgage rates, this indicator is charging higher.

Construction Spending Rises

NAREIT has developed a financial metric called Funds From Operations, or FFO, that investors in REITs can use to better evaluate their financial performance. Dividend income plays a big role in why investors would seek to own stocks in REITs. What makes the FFO information valuable to investors is its correlation with the dividends paid out by REITs.

SP Funds S&P Global REIT Sharia ETF

This article compares the SP Funds S&P Global REIT Sharia ETF and the iShares Global REIT ETF, both of which focus on real estate investments. The SP Funds S&P Global REIT Sharia ETF tracks the performance of Shariah-compliant global real estate investment trusts included in the S&P Global BMI.

SPRE Vs. REET: Sharia Law Screen With REIT Focus

Interest rates have risen across the globe. As rates rise, demand for real estate decreases, due to higher mortgage rates, and as other investments start to offer competitive yields and returns. REET is a global REIT ETF, and has been negatively impacted by these trends.

REET And Higher Global Interest Rates: What Investors Need To Know

REET is not going to be able to escape the higher cost of capital, and the Fed seems determined to keep going with hikes. While REET has a lot of exposure to resilient categories that should be able to withstand higher rates, as a global value-weighted REIT, it has a lot of offices. We continue to worry about office exposures, especially as investment banks are expecting real estate to be one of the main loci of restructuring activity.

REET, like all of the real estate asset class, is going to be struggling with rates. Any upside surprise to rates is a downside effect on the price, and the issue is there is every reason to expect upside surprises in rates given the current environment.

The State Of REITs: February 2023 Edition

REET has reasonably high assets under management and generates a decent level of yield. This enabled the ETF to generate an average return of 9 percent during 2016 and 2021. REET invests a significant proportion of its assets in Industrial, Specialized and Residential REITs - which performed better than other types of REITs.

The ETFB Green SRI REITs ETF (RITA) invests in stocks of companies that follow the values and teachings of Shariah law. While new, the index provides longer history. I will compare RITA to the unrestricted iShares Global REIT ETF (REET) to see how RITA's screening affected return and risk for investors.

REET has a lot of specialised REIT exposures which are in theory very resilient in concept and practice. They also have a lot of retail REITs which are traditionally less attractive but work through retail oversupply has gone on a while now, and these aren't toxic assets.

One of the most substantive innovations of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was the creation of "qualified opportunity zones," or QOZs, which have the aim of stimulating long-term investment in economically distressed communities. In order to increase capital flows into dedicated QOZ funds, the legislation provided a number of major incentives for investors.

I am assigning a neutral rating to the iShares Global REIT ETF because data suggest that its price moves at a sluggish pace even over the long term. The ETF's low price gains and its low TTM dividend yield of 2.15% impact its current investable quotient.
