Real estate has been one of the preferred asset classes beyond the standard stocks, bonds and commodities. As the world progresses through different and repetitive economic stages and cycles, having something tangible, physical and real is preferred by many investors who may want to add a different level of diversification.
Real estate ETFs offer an easy and convenient way to invest in the real estate market without the need to invest big sums of money in actual property. Real estate ETF units can be purchased at small price, and they sit in the demat account as shares, offering a low-cost, no-maintenance investment channel.
Following is the list of all 52 exchange-traded funds that FKnol has in its database for ETFs which belong to the Real Estate category:

How Real Estate ETFs Work?

Real estate properties, which span across residential, commercial, industrial and other tangible physical assets, can be a source of both capital appreciation as well as steady rental income. However, in bad times, both rental income and property value may decline, which should be kept in mind before making any real estate investments. Real estate ETFs can directly invest the ETF capital into real estate property and aim to benefit from both capital appreciation and/or rental income. Such ETFs are available at both local as well as global levels - that is, the investments can be made for properties in a particular state, country or region.
Real estate ETFs may invest in stocks of companies which are operational in the real estate sector, and they may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REIT). See List of REIT ETFs and List of Leveraged REIT ETFs.
