About VNQ
Vanguard Real Estate ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides broad exposure to the U.S. real estate sector. The fund seeks to deliver a high level of income and moderate long-term capital appreciation by tracking the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index, a benchmark that includes a wide range of real estate-related companies. Vanguard Real Estate ETF primarily invests in equity real estate investment trusts, which own and operate income-producing properties such as offices, industrial facilities, retail centers, residential complexes, and specialized real estate. It uses a passively managed, full-replication approach, holding virtually all the constituents of its underlying index across large-, mid-, and small-cap issuers. By focusing on U.S. companies classified in the real estate sector, including both REITs and real estate management and development firms, Vanguard Real Estate ETF serves as a diversified vehicle for accessing the commercial property market through publicly traded securities. The fund is part of Vanguard’s indexed ETF lineup and is headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, where Vanguard is based.
