Better Real Estate ETF: Vanguard's VNQI vs. iShares' ICF
2026-03-17 14:33:29 ET
The Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF (NASDAQ:VNQI) and iShares Select U.S. REIT ETF (NYSEMKT:ICF) differ most notably in geographic coverage, with VNQI spanning international real estate and ICF focusing strictly on the U.S, plus key contrasts in cost, yield, and portfolio breadth.
VNQI is designed for investors seeking exposure to a wide array of non-U.S. real estate companies, while ICF zeroes in on large U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs). This comparison looks at their cost, recent returns, risk, liquidity, and what’s inside each portfolio to help clarify which approach may appeal to different investment goals.
