  • Warming Up To International Real Estate Funds [View article]
    also FIREX for an OEF.

    but i think the long-term choice is the yet to be released ETF from iShares called ishares FTSE NAREIT Global Real Estate ex-US -- it's expected to have expense ratio of 0.48% (no way IRFAX can overcome that advantage, as an aside -- Dan, I assume you are a broker!!). don't know all the details yet since it hasn't started trading but i expect i to be similar to RWX (one of the fastest growing ETF launches in history) but at a lower ER (.48 vs. .60 for RWX) and I believe will have an even broader index to which it will track.

    i personally own EGLRX but will switch to the ishares product when it launches.

    doesn't have performance by country but does have holdings by security and by country.

    can someone tell me why all of this and all of the domestic REIT products *exclude* Timber REITs? makes no sense to me. first of all, there's fewer than 10 of them worldwide so why bother excluding them. second, what business is *more* tied to the actual real estate (LAND) than Timber?
