The Real Estate sector ranks tenth out of the 11 sectors as detailed in our 1Q24 Sector Ratings for ETFs and Mutual Funds report. Last quarter, the Real Estate sector ranked tenth. It gets our Unattractive rating, which is based on an aggregation of ratings of the 197 stocks in the Real Estate sector as of January 11, 2024. See a recap of our 4Q23 Sector Ratings here.
Figures 1 and 2 show the five best and worst rated ETFs and mutual funds in the sector. Not all Real Estate sector ETFs and mutual funds are created the same. The number of holdings varies widely (from 14 to 422). This variation creates drastically different investment implications and, therefore, ratings.
