IYR: Sell Your REIT ETFs
iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF is underperforming peers and the broader market, with a 3.4% decline over the last month and lagging the S&P 500 in 2025. IYR faces risks from rising Treasury yields, low credit spreads, and potential investor rotation back into bonds if yields rise further. REIT ETFs, including IYR, have enjoyed strong long-term returns but are now rolling over amid macroeconomic headwinds and sector underperformance.
IYR Vs. IYRI: Enhanced Income ETF Gets A Buy Rating
Neos Real Estate High Income ETF offers an income-enhanced alternative to iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF, using an options overlay to boost yield while tracking the same REIT index. IYRI's 11% yield far exceeds IYR's 2.4%, but comes with higher fees (68bps vs. 38bps) and potential NAV erosion from the options strategy. Most of IYRI's distributions are classified as Return of Capital, which can be tax-advantaged for investors, especially in taxable accounts.
IYR: Betting On REITs' Recovery
I rate IYR ETF a buy due to its balanced portfolio: one-third leverages megatrends, while two-thirds provide stability and defensive exposure. The macroeconomic environment is turning favorable for REITs, with expected rate cuts and resilient consumer spending supporting a sector recovery. IYR is well-positioned to benefit from growth in data centers, 5G infrastructure, and industrial real estate, while maintaining diversification and stability.
