VanEck FTSE International Property (Hedged) 

This VanEck ETF provides investors with a straightforward avenue to a diverse array of global real estate investment trusts (REITs), with currency risk managed by hedging returns into Australian dollars. Its core aim is to replicate the performance of its benchmark index before fees and costs. The fund holds approximately 300 international REITs, offering broad diversification by country and sector. This includes exposure to a range of property types such as commercial, healthcare, retail, office, and industrial, many of which are not readily available through Australian-listed options. Investing through this ETF offers a liquid means to access international "bricks and mortar" assets, requiring a significantly lower capital outlay and less complexity than direct overseas property ownership. Moreover, international REITs are generally known for delivering more stable and higher dividend yields compared to other international listed equities.
