Vanguard's VNQI or FlexShares' GQRE: Which Global Real Estate ETF Should Long-Term Investors Choose?
GQRE leans heavily on U.S. real estate despite its global branding, and that domestic tilt has delivered better returns than VNQI's more genuinely international portfolio.
The Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF and FlexShares Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund offer different approaches to international property exposure. One fund, according to Nasdaq Markets, has a significantly lower expense ratio than the other.
The Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF excludes the U.S. entirely, while the FlexShares Global Quality Real Estate Index Fund applies a quality-focused filter across the global landscape, including domestic markets, as noted by Motley Fool.
These two funds provide unique income and diversification potential, but geographic concentration is a consideration.
