The Vanguard REIT Index Fund Admiral Shares (VGSLX) provides low-cost exposure to the real estate sector in the U.S. via ownership of real estate investment trusts (REITs). The fund is a passively managed index fund that tracks the MSCI U.S. REIT Index. The underlying index only includes equity REITs or those that own physical properties, such as apartments, shopping plazas, offices and industrial spaces. The index covers two-thirds of the United States REIT industry and includes large- and mid-cap stocks.
As an index fund covering the majority of the U.S. real estate space, VGSLX is perfect as a core holding in any portfolio. The index fund is internally managed by Vanguard.
