Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ)
Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the investment results of the MSCI US REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) Index, which is a benchmark index for the U.S. real estate market. The index is designed to measure the performance of publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other real estate-related investments listed on U.S. stock exchanges.
VNQ is a passive ETF, which means it seeks to replicate the performance of the underlying index rather than actively selecting individual stocks. As a result, the fund has a low expense ratio of 0.12%, significantly lower than the average expense ratio of actively managed ETFs.
The fund is managed by Vanguard, one of the largest asset managers in the world. VNQ is a popular choice for investors looking to gain exposure to the real estate market in a low-cost, diversified manner.
