The Real Estate sector ranks eleventh out of the 11 sectors as detailed in our 4Q24 Sector Ratings for ETFs and Mutual Funds report. Last quarter, the Real Estate sector ranked tenth.

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 22 to 446). This variation creates drastically different investment implications and, therefore, ratings.
