The Real Estate sector ranks eleventh out of the 11 sectors as detailed in our 3Q23 Sector Ratings for ETFs and Mutual Funds report. Last quarter, the Real Estate sector ranked tenth. It gets our Very Unattractive rating, which is based on an aggregation of ratings of the 184 stocks in the Real Estate sector as of July 11, 2023. See a recap of our 2Q23 Sector Ratings here.
Figures 1 and 2 show the five best and worst rated ETFs and mutual funds in the sector. Not all Real Estate sector ETFs and mutual funds are created the same. The number of holdings varies widely (from 20 to 349). This variation creates drastically different investment implications and, therefore, ratings.
