HAUZ vs REET: Global Real Estate or a U.S.-Anchored REIT Portfolio

This comparison examines two global real estate ETFs: HAUZ (Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF) and REET (iShares Global REIT ETF). HAUZ offers lower fees (0.10% vs 0.14%), higher dividend yield (3.91% vs 3.7%), and better one-year returns (17.2% vs 3.6%), with more geographic diversification outside the U.S. REET provides greater liquidity and scale ($4.04B AUM) with concentrated exposure to large U.S. REITs like Welltower, Prologis, and Equinix. The choice depends on whether investors prefer global real estate tied to U.S. REIT cycles (REET) or diversified exposure across international markets (HAUZ).
