Vanguard Real Estate ETF

NYSE Arca· Quarterly distribution· ETF

$97.08 ▼ $-0.97(-0.99%) as of Jun 17, 2026 17:06 UTC

This exchange-traded fund primarily invests in the equity of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). These are entities that acquire, own, and manage a diverse portfolio of income-producing real estate, including commercial properties like office buildings and hotels. The fund's main objective is to closely replicate the investment performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index. While offering substantial potential for investment income and some capital appreciation, its share price tends to exhibit greater volatility compared to funds concentrated in bonds. It serves as a valuable tool for investors seeking to broaden their portfolio's asset allocation and potentially reduce overall risk by adding exposure beyond traditional stocks and bonds.

Key Metrics

Distribution Yield

3.90%

The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.

Annualized Distribution

$3.7828

The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.

Frequency

Q Quarterly

How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.

Rank Score

49.4

Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.

RSI (14)

47

Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.

52-Week Range

$87.00 – $98.51

The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.

Payout Ratio

n/a

The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.

Years Paying

21

How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.

S.A.F.E. Dividend Read

S.A.F.E. is our quick durability read on the dividend: Sustainability, Adequacy, Financial strength and Endurance. Each letter flags green (good) or amber (worth a look).
S Sustainable Payout
Not meaningful for a fund — assess NAV / distribution coverage.
A Payment Track Record
21 years of dividend payments.
F Fair Valuation
Price-to-book unavailable.
E Entry Signal
Not oversold. RSI 47.
