- buxtehude 9y agoVGSIX holds many different kinds of REITs including retail, office, industrial - so imo not a good example. The Dow Jones US Residential REIT index is up 7.3% YTD and 12.20% over 1 year. https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/djusrn?countrycode=xx https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/djusrn?countryco...
