Why REIT ETFs Are Recovering

Take a look at those charts again. The huge drop in the ETF price before March means that the market has already adjusted the CURRENT ETF holdings.

Individual REITS or newly formed REITS also reflect today's market so there is no meaningful difference.

If there was, you would see traders shorting the existing ETFs and buying the new REITS i.e., the prices of the existing REITS would continue to fall, not rise.

However, the existing ETF prices have been rising since March.
