Msci us reit index fund
This ETF offers exposure to U.S. property trusts that covers about two-thirds of the value of the entire U.S. REIT market. VNQ follows the MSCI US REIT Index, which has just over 100 holdings diversified primarily across mid and large-cap equities, while exposure to small-caps is also abundant.

This REIT follows the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index. It is considered a little riskier than average, but not among the riskiest classes of ETFs. Like most real estate funds, this fund got hammered in the real estate crash of 2007-2008, but it has offered steady and growing returns since.
