In this episode of ETF spotlight, we focus on two very innovative real estate and housing ETFs. In the first part, my guest is Alexi Panagiotakopoulos, co-founder of Fundamental Income, and in the second part, I speak with Alex Pettee, president of Hoya Capital Real Estate.
The NETLease Corporate Real Estate ETF (SI:NETL) --the first net lease REIT ETF--made its debut in March this year. It has significantly outperformed the most popular REIT ETF—the Vanguard Real Estate VNQ since its inception.
A net lease is a lease agreement between the property owner and the tenant in which the tenant is responsible for paying both the rent and most of the property expenses.
The ETF follows a modified market-cap weighted index that includes 24 companies which own more than 23,000 properties across all 50 states leased to tenants operating in a variety of industries.
Its top holdings are STORE Capital (NYSE:O) , Realty Income (NYSE:O) and National Retail Properties (NYSE:NNN) .
The Hoya Capital Housing ETF (NYSE:O) holds 100 companies involved in the housing industry including residential REITs, homebuilders, home improvement companies, and real estate services and technology firms. Lowe's (NYSE:LOW) and Home Depot (NYSE:HD) are its top holdings.
How does HOMZ differ from the existing homebuilding and real estate ETFs like the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (WA:ITB) , and the Vanguard Real Estate VNQ ?
Real Estate is one of the best performing sectors this year, thanks mainly to low interest rates. How will rising rates impact housing and real estate ETFs?
