Summary

Vanguard Real Estate Index is one of the best U.S. real estate funds available. It charges very little for a broad portfolio that accurately depicts the U.S. real estate market, diversifies well, and embodies the market’s collective expertise with market-cap weighting. The strategy’s efficacy affirms Morningstar Analyst Ratings of Gold for the admiral, institutional, and exchange-traded share classes and warrant an upgrade for the pricier investor share class to Gold from Silver.
