RWOETF

The article compares two real estate ETFs: iShares Select U.S. REIT ETF (ICF) with a lower 0.32% expense ratio and 8.9% 1-year return focusing on 30 U.S. large-cap REITs, versus State Street SPDR Dow Jones Global Real Estate ETF (RWO) offering broader global exposure across 224 holdings with a higher 3.5% dividend yield but 0.5% expense ratio. ICF has outperformed on total returns while RWO provides international diversification.

The article compares two real estate ETFs: State Street's RWO, which claims to be global but holds over 50% in U.S. real estate, and Xtrackers' HAUZ, which focuses entirely on international markets. HAUZ offers a significantly lower expense ratio of 0.1% versus RWO's 0.5%, comparable long-term returns, and better diversification for investors seeking international real estate exposure. The analysis concludes HAUZ is the better choice for most long-term investors prioritizing cost efficiency and true international diversification.
