Description: VNQ Vanguard Real Estate Shares

The Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund ETF (NYSE ARCA: VNQ) seeks to replicate its benchmark by investing virtually all of its capital-either directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary-into the constituent equities of the index, matching each security’s weight as closely as possible. Because the portfolio is concentrated in a single sector, the fund is classified as non-diversified under SEC rules.

Key fund attributes: ticker VNQ, exchange-traded fund (ETF), domiciled in the United States, and categorized under the Real Estate sector.

From publicly available data (as of Q3 2025), VNQ carries an expense ratio of 0.12%, manages roughly $80 billion in assets, and its top holdings include American Tower Corp., Prologis Inc., and Crown Castle International Corp., together accounting for about 15 % of total assets. The fund’s sector allocation is heavily weighted toward REITs that own office, industrial, and data-center properties.

Primary economic drivers for VNQ’s performance are interest-rate movements (which affect REIT financing costs and cap rates), commercial-real-estate occupancy trends, and inflation expectations that influence lease escalations. A rise in the Fed Funds rate typically compresses REIT yields, while strong GDP growth can boost demand for commercial space, supporting rental income.
