There are specialised real estate share and REIT indices, including indices from MSCI, S&P and Dow Jones, which can provide a benchmark. Some ETF providers have also launched corresponding index funds. However, AVENTOS Capital Markets has adopted an investment approach designed to outperform these indices thanks to its own active stock selection. Existing real estate ETFs continue to weight their individual positions according to market capitalisation, and thus tend to buy expensive stocks and sell stocks that have fallen in price.
