Buy land, they’re not making it anymore. A listed real estate ETF portfolio, diversified across geographies and real estate types.

The portfolio targets a global exposure across 3 major real estate continents – North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, diversifying geographically and by type of real estate.

The Global REIT ETF strategy is also offered in a Single Stock only approach
