Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF

VNQI tracks a market-cap-weighted index of non-US real estate investment trusts.

The Fund seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of international real estate stocks.

VNQI sounds like a great investment on the surface, offering a chance for investors to get exposure to international REITs at a cheap price. It has an erratic dividend history and weak capital appreciation since inception.

Pressured by the broader housing cooldown, Apartment REITs have been among the weaker-performing property sectors over the past quarter despite achieving record-setting rent growth throughout the summer. While the era of 20% rent increases on new leases is over, there remains significant “embedded” rent growth in below-market renewals that should power impressive FFO growth into 2023.

Apartment REITs: From Record Rents To Rent Control

Pressured by the painfully slow “return to the office” with daily utilization rates still 50% below pre-pandemic norms, Office REITs are among the worst-performing property sectors this year. Office leasing activity and REIT earnings results have been surprisingly resilient, but corporations won't pay for half-empty space indefinitely and have been leveraging softening market conditions to extract generous concessions.
