About VNQ#
Objective: “Vanguard Real Estate ETF, an exchange-traded share class of Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund (the “Fund”), seeks to provide a high level of income and moderate long-term capital appreciation by tracking the performance of a benchmark index that measures the performance of publicly traded equity REITs and other real estate-related investments.”
How it invests: “The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index (the “Target Index”), which is made up of stocks of large, mid-size, and small U.S. companies within the real estate sector, as classified under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). The GICS real estate sector is composed of equity real estate investment trusts (known as REITs), which include specialized REITs, and real estate management and development companies.”
Same portfolio as VGSLX (Mutual fund, 0.13% a year): VNQ is another share class of the same fund, so what differs between them is the fee and how each is bought.

Estimated portfolio characteristics
Estimated by our own bottom-up analysis of the fund’s SEC-filed holdings; recomputed daily from public data.
Annualized returns (CAGR)#
Compound annual growth rate per holding period, total return (dividends reinvested), from weekly adjusted closes. Each column is anchored at the date under it; horizons the fund’s history can’t span are omitted.
Fund flows#
Net creations minus redemptions per period, from the fund’s SEC Form N-PORT filings (series-level: where a fund shares its portfolio with mutual-fund share classes, flows cover all classes combined). Quarterly filings publish with a ~60-day lag, so recent months appear as filings land. Flow data begins mid-2019 — Form N-PORT did not exist before then, for any fund.
