Market cap $15.4M

Markets have been hyper-focused on AI, crypto and buffer ETFs, but REIT ETFs have quietly staged an impressive comeback. The REIT terrain has shifted rapidly over recent years, and forward-looking investors and advisors have taken notice.

Real estate investing has been a complicated space this year. Commercial real estate remains a challenged area with a lot going against it.

As is often the case, high interest weighed on the real estate sector this year. The S&P Select Real Estate Index is higher by 7.61% year to date, but that trails the S&P 500 by a wide margin.

WisdomTree has a relationship with CenterSquare, licensing the CenterSquare New Economy Real Estate Index for the WisdomTree New Economy Real Estate Fund (WTRE).

Investing in real estate overall hasn't been the easiest time in 2023. A combination of rising rates and a changing approach to work in the United States has impacted both residential and commercial real estate.
