Vanguard Real Estate ETF ( NYSEMKT:VNQ ) and Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF ( NYSEMKT:HAUZ ) both target real estate exposure, but differ sharply in regional focus, with VNQ focused on U.S. REITs and HAUZ spanning developed and emerging markets outside the U.S. HAUZ also features a slightly lower expense ratio and a higher yield.
Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year monthly returns. The 1-yr return represents total return over the trailing 12 months.
