With WeWork having recently unveiled its prospectus ahead of its large upcoming IPO, we decided to look into alternative investments with exposures to the real estate market and have prepared a league table with the top-performing real estate funds.
While WeWork leases temporary office space to small companies such as startups as well as larger enterprises, a real estate exchange-traded fund (ETF), holds multiple baskets of real-estate securities and offers an especially liquid, low-cost way to invest in the real estate asset class.
Although the returns are less than, say, owning and leasing an entire building, the risk is lower. A REIT ETF (Real-Estate-Investment-Trust) invests in multiple real estate companies at once, creating further diversification and mitigating an investor’s exposure.
Let’s have a look at their best performing Funds with Real Estate Exposures so far this year, as reported on the Edgefolio platform.
