This product might have had some value in the early days by offering diversification to people who don’t have a lot to invest in by avoiding exorbitant minimal brokerage fees and large lot size of 1,000.
 
Nowadays with the advent of super low cost mobile app brokerages and a lot size of 100 which takes minimum investments of REITs to less than a few hundred bucks, there is no point in paying the fund management company 0.6% every year just to replicate an index.
 
You can easily find the list of REITs in the index here and just buy them directly through your brokerage app and instantly enhance your returns by 0.6% through fee savings https://www.lionglobalinvestors.com/en/f...t-etf.html
