The iShares DJ
Real Estate ETF Defined and Explained
The
iShares Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index ETF is an
exchange-traded fund that invests wholly in real estate
investment trusts (REITs). REITs
are companies that invest in either property or mortgages. This
ETF gives investors a liquid way to invest in the real estate
market. REITs often pay high dividends, funded
from rents or mortgages. Some REITs even hold
actual property in their portfolios as assets.

Because of this, the fund isn't as closely tied to interest
rates.

iShares DJ Real
Estate ETF Trading Information
The value of a
fund that invests in property rather than in mortgages is based
on the underlying value of the firm's property portfolio as well
as the rental income it receives from that portfolio. Many
REITs invest in commercial entities like
shopping malls or hotels. These properties’ values are highly
correlated to the economy, as leisure travel and shopping prices
tend to fluctuate along with our nation's economic health.

Estate ETF Trading Advice
Mortgage-based REITs will move along with the economy because
the ability of the owners to service their mortgage payments
will depend on the underlying economy. More important though is
the direction of interest rates, which has a direct impact on
the value of the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate
Index ETF. Higher interest rates lead to lower prices,
just like in any bond. |
