Real estate ETF is an index that tracks the whole real estate industry, including real estate developers, construction companies, property management companies and real estate investment trusts (REIT). They usually hold shares in several real estate-related companies to realize diversified investment in the whole real estate industry.

The investment portfolio of real estate ETF will pay more attention to real estate investment trusts, because these trusts are real estate-based investment tools.
Both types of ETFs provide investors with opportunities to participate in the real estate market, but real estate ETFs are more extensive and invest in the whole real estate industry, while real estate ETFs are more focused on the real estate market and related investment trusts. Investors should choose the right ETF according to their investment goals and preferences.
