New to REITs - Fidelity
What REITs do folks here like? I'm kinda new to them. I kinda like FREL and FSRNX. My accounts are with Fidelity.
Do you go global or small cap?

FSRNX
Fidelity Real Estate Index Fund
ER: .07
or
VGSLX Reit Index (vanguard)
Why differentiate "global" or "small cap" vs market weighted index?

For what it's worth:
I have FSRNX and I am okay with it. I can't say I highly endorse the fund, but it has been good to me for the last few years. I do like the e/r.

I split 50/50 between US and international, and I do that with REITs as well. I hold 10% of my portfolio in REITS, split evenly between Vanguard REIT Index and Vanguard Global Real Estate (Admiral shares of both). This is my least tax-efficient holding, so it is in my IRA.

I have some money in FREL - its the Fidelity REIT ETF.

Re: New to REITs - Fidelity
Many of these funds track different indexes, which complicates the decision process:
SCHH (Schwab U.S. REIT ETF) (Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index)
FSRNX (Fidelity Real Estate Index Fund) (Dow Jones U.S. Select Real Estate Securities Index)
FREL (Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF) (MSCI USA IMI Real Estate Index)
VNQ (Vanguard Real Estate ETF) (MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index)
USRT (iShares Core U.S. REIT ETF) (FTSE Nareit Equity REITS Index)
On the international side, check out VNQI. Or consider REET if you want an all-in-one global REIT fund.

I would consider the Vanguard US REIT fund and the Vanguard International REIT fund.
