Reading. Fees of 0,13 % per year represent 13 € collected each year for 10 000 € invested, directly in the share value. Real estate ETFs hold listed real estate companies (offices, housing, warehouses, data centers): sensitive to interest rates, with a yield often higher than 3 %. The positions come from the issuer's publications; performance is calculated on the closing prices of the VNQ listing, dividends not reinvested, in the listing currency.
