The Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF (VNQI) and Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF (HAUZ) provide exposure to global real estate outside the U.S. Comparing their cost, performance, and risk profiles is crucial for investors considering international real estate equities. Metrics show similar performance, but VNQI offers a slightly higher dividend yield.

VNQI holds 742 assets, excluding the U.S., with top holdings like Goodman Group and Mitsui Fudosan Co. HAUZ, three years younger, excludes companies from Pakistan and Vietnam, resulting in fewer total holdings. Both ETFs are ideal for global real estate investment, but investors should note the payout frequency difference.

Dividend payouts vary, with HAUZ distributing semiannual payments and VNQI switching to annual payments in 2023. Quarterly dividend options are available in similar ETFs like SPDR Dow Jones Global Real Estate ETF. Investors seeking global real estate exposure should consider these factors when choosing an ETF.
