I prefer to buy single stocks, as it&#8217;s way<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> more fun. I also believe that I can outperform most benchmark ETFs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Having said that, I often use the VNQ ETF as a benchmark in REIT-focused articles, as it&#8217;s the biggest real estate ETF in the world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">In this article, we&#8217;ll dive into the details and alternatives for investors to beat the ETF with similar income.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">What Is VNQ?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Incepted in 2004, this Vanguard-managed ETF tracks the investment performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25\/50 Index.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">With more than $30 billion in assets under management, this ETF aims to:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">\n<li>Provide high-income and moderate long-term<span class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\"> capital by<\/span> <\/li>\n<li class=\"paywall-full-content no-summary-bullets invisible\">Investing in stocks issued by commercial REITs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The ETF currently yields 4.7%, which is the highest yield since the Great Financial Crisis. Over the past ten years, the dividend has been hiked by 4.3% per year, which is decent, as it beats the average inflation rate.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"sa-widget sa-ycharts paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/saupload_8460c260b1ebb9ddf3ab3ade86799756.png\" alt=\"Chart\" width=\"635\" height=\"366\" class=\"sa-ycharts-img\" data-width=\"635\" data-height=\"366\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Data by YCharts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Rising rates and high inflation have made REITs a bit unattractive, as investors prefer investments with lower debt and better pricing power. Almost all REITs rely on affordable financing to expand and\/or maintain their balance sheets, while most REITs have long-term contracts with CPI-tied pricing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Sometimes these contracts are capped, making above-average inflation an issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The VNQ ETF currently trades 21% below its 52-week high and is down 3.4% year-to-date, which explains why the yield has increased to almost 5%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Speaking of its performance, VNQ has returned just 23% over the past ten years, including dividends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This performance is poor. Even the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM) &#8211; currently yielding 3.1% &#8211; has returned 88%.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"sa-widget sa-ycharts paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/saupload_243ff8877ba2ae5beb584bb5535613ff.png\" alt=\"Chart\" width=\"635\" height=\"366\" class=\"sa-ycharts-img\" data-width=\"635\" data-height=\"366\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Data by YCharts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">With that in mind, VNQ is well-diversified. Thanks to its passive management approach, it has an expense ratio of 0.12%, which is fair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The ETF has 164 holdings with a median market cap of $25 billion. All of its holdings are based in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Its largest sectors are:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<li>Industrial (12.7%)<\/li>\n<li>Retail (12.6%)<\/li>\n<li>Telecom Towers (12.1%)<\/li>\n<li>Multi-Family Residential (8.8%)<\/li>\n<li>Data Centers (8.3%)<\/li>\n<li>Health Care (8.1%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Its largest holdings can be seen below. None of its REITs have a weighting of more than 8%, which is good for diversification.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/31557165-16926975039012706.png\" alt=\"Image\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Vanguard<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Having said all of this, I do not <em>hate <\/em>VNQ. It&#8217;s a well-diversified ETF with an attractive expense ratio, a juicy yield, and steady dividend growth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">If I were to own this, I wouldn&#8217;t lose sleep.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">However, I wouldn&#8217;t be happy either, as I believe that it&#8217;s not impossible to build a REIT portfolio with a better performance.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Building My Own VNQ<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Now, let me introduce you to a simple but well-diversified six-stock REIT portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This portfolio covers six REITs in an equal-weight portfolio. I went with some of the stocks on my watchlist. All of them are mature REITs with decent yields, dividend growth, and financial health.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"table-responsive paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><span class=\"table-scroll-wrapper\"><span data-intersection-boundary=\"start\"><\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Name<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Dividend Yield<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Dividend 5Y CAGR <\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Credit Rating<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Prologis (PLD)<\/td>\n<td>Semi-cyclical industrial<\/td>\n<td>2.9%<\/td>\n<td>12.5%<\/td>\n<td>A-<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Realty Income (O)<\/td>\n<td>Semi-cyclical retail<\/td>\n<td>5.5%<\/td>\n<td>3.7%<\/td>\n<td>A-<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Crown Castle (CCI)<\/td>\n<td>Non-cyclical cell tower<\/td>\n<td>6.3%<\/td>\n<td>8.5%<\/td>\n<td>BBB+<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Extra Space Storage (EXR)<\/td>\n<td>Cyclical self-storage<\/td>\n<td>5.0%<\/td>\n<td>17.8%<\/td>\n<td>BBB+<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Mid-America Apartment Communities (MAA)<\/td>\n<td>Non-cyclical apartments<\/td>\n<td>3.9%<\/td>\n<td>8.4%<\/td>\n<td>A-<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Equity LifeStyle Properties (ELS)<\/td>\n<td>Non-cyclical manufactured housing communities<\/td>\n<td>2.0%<\/td>\n<td>4.7%<\/td>\n<td>N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p> <span data-intersection-boundary=\"end\"><\/span><\/span><button class=\"table-enlarge-button\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\" class=\"table-enlarge-icon\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M16 11a5 5 0 0 1-5 5H5a5 5 0 0 1-5-5V5a5 5 0 0 1 5-5h6a5 5 0 0 1 5 5v6zm-4.5-2.5h2v-6h-6v2h4v4zm-9-1h2v4h4v2h-6v-6z\"><\/path><\/svg>Click to enlarge<\/button><\/span> <\/p>\n<ul class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<li><strong>Average dividend yield: 4.2% <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Average (unweighted) dividend growth rate: 9.3%<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Please note that I did not go with an average weighted dividend growth rate, as EXR would significantly skew the result. Also, I believe that EXR&#8217;s dividend growth will slow in the next few years.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"sa-widget sa-ycharts paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/saupload_79c7859c6d5c98b5fdecdb2ed10b6dca.png\" alt=\"Chart\" width=\"635\" height=\"366\" class=\"sa-ycharts-img\" data-width=\"635\" data-height=\"366\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Data by YCharts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<li>With regard to these picks, I included <strong>Prologis<\/strong> because it owns the world&#8217;s best industrial properties. This includes warehouses that are leased to the biggest transportation and supply chain firms in the world.<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Realty Income<\/strong> is a staple with top-tier tenants in the U.S. and abroad and a well-covered 5.5% monthly dividend.<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Crown Castle<\/strong> offers a decent yield and a wide moat portfolio consisting of cell towers. This business is anti-cyclical.<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Extra Space Storage<\/strong> is my largest REIT holding, as it has excelled at building top-tier self-storage assets with high margins, high occupancy rates, and outperforming growth.<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Mid-America Apartments<\/strong> owns Sunbelt apartments with high occupancy rates, well-diversified tenants, and long-term demand growth.<\/li>\n<li> <strong>Equity LifeStyle Properties<\/strong> owns manufactured housing communities, RV communities, and marinas. It benefits from an aging population, cost benefits of MH communities, supply headwinds in the marina space, and a low-expense structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Since 2005, this six-stock basket has returned 14.1% per year, beating the VNQ ETF by a wide margin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The S&amp;P 500 returned 9.5% per year during this period.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Furthermore, despite the fact that this basket holds just six stocks, it has a standard deviation that was LOWER than the VNQ standard deviation since 2005.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Also, the max drawdown during the Great Financial Crisis was just 52%. VNQ fell by 68%.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/31557165-16926989917130709.png\" alt=\"Image\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Portfolio Visualizer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Even better, this performance has been consistent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This equal-weight basket has beaten VNQ almost every single year since 2005. Over the past five years, for example, it has returned 11.2% per year, beating the 4.7% return of the VNQ ETF. The standard deviation of the basket was lower.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/31557165-1692699188997643.png\" alt=\"Image\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>Portfolio Visualizer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">With all of this in mind, I&#8217;m not making the case that everyone needs to own these six stocks &#8211; although I like all of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">My point here is that it&#8217;s not impossible to build a diversified basket of REIT stocks with decent income and dividend growth without having to take on bigger risks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Going forward, I believe that these stocks will continue to outperform the VNQ ETF. I also believe that these investments offer attractive buying opportunities if rising rates continue to pressure REIT stock prices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">So far, I only own Extra Space Storage and Public Storage. However, I&#8217;m increasingly looking to expand my REIT portfolio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">All stocks mentioned in this article are on my watchlist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">And, just to be clear, if you own VNQ, do not let me force you into single stocks. Some people are better off buying ETFs, as stock picking comes with additional risks.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Takeaway<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">While VNQ has its advantages, I&#8217;ve built a diversified selection that has consistently outperformed the ETF.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Embracing Prologis for its world-class industrial properties, Realty Income for its robust tenant base and monthly dividend, Crown Castle for its anti-cyclical cell tower portfolio, Extra Space Storage for its exceptional self-storage assets, Mid-America Apartment Communities for its strong Sunbelt apartments, and Equity LifeStyle Properties for its unique housing communities, this portfolio has excelled year after year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Since 2005, it has achieved a remarkable annual return of 14.1%, leaving VNQ in the dust.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This outcome is backed by a lower standard deviation, highlighting its resilience during market turbulence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The performance consistency further supports its credibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">While these specific stocks might not be for everyone, the core message is: crafting a REIT portfolio tailored to your preferences can indeed beat VNQ&#8217;s performance without the need for elevated risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4630249-vnq-etf-im-building-my-own-market-beating-etf?source=feed_all_articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction I have a love-hate relationship with the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSEARCA:VNQ) &#8211; although I would replace hate with somewhat dislike.
