A Real Estate Mutual Fund is a regulated investment vehicle focused on investing in securities offered by real estate-related companies, including REITs, real estate development and management firms, and homebuilders.
A REIT ETF (Real Estate Investment Trust Exchange-Traded Fund) is an ETF that focuses on investing in equity REITs or mortgage REITs. These funds are traded on stock exchanges like regular stocks and typically have lower fees and provide greater diversification compared to traditional real estate mutual funds.
