The Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF offers a significantly higher dividend yield and a larger asset base. At the same time, the Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF offers a slightly more cost-efficient way to access international property markets.
Investors seeking to diversify their income streams away from U.S. interest rate cycles often compare VNQI and HAUZ. Both funds offer exposure to developed- and emerging-market property stocks, excluding the United States, targeting real estate investment trusts and operating companies to capture international growth and income.
