GlobalX SuperDividend REIT ETF offers a high 8% yield and monthly payouts, but faces significant risks and underperformance. SRET's declining dividend history and weak total returns highlight concerns about the quality of its high-yield REIT holdings. Top SRET holdings show erratic cash flow and high debt, raising doubts about the sustainability of its high yield.
Global X SuperDividend REIT ETF has a 8% yield from 30 global REITs, with 67% of assets in U.S. issuers and 34% in mortgage REITs. SRET has lost 54% in value and 49% in distribution since 2015, lagging benchmarks and competitors. Investors seeking global real estate exposure may prefer REITs, with higher historical returns and liquidity, and lower fees and volatility.
Global X SuperDividend REIT ETF (SRET) warrants a sell rating due to concerning indicators tied to its dividend sustainability. SRET's high expense ratio and low growth, combined with a high concentration of mortgage and healthcare REITs, indicate potentially poor future performance. SRET's top holdings have high payout ratios, negative AFFO growth, and are sensitive to interest rate changes, increasing the risk of dividend cuts.
I target an 8% yield for my income portfolio, achievable through an macro adaptive investment process across asset classes. Mortgage REIT ETFs offer high dividends, diversification, and stable base for starters. I will highlight three of them for my HY8 portfolio. I plan to add gradually mREIT ETFs positions, anticipating rate cuts and more clarity from economic growth (landing), positioning my portfolio with a defensive (safe) bias.
Global X SuperDividend® REIT ETF has a portfolio of 30 high-yield REITs with global exposure. Over 3/4 of asset value is in U.S. issuers, and over 1/3 in mortgage REITs. The SRET ETF has lost more than 50% since 2015 in both value and distribution.
Since my latest bearish article on Global X SuperDividend REIT ETF (SRET), the fund has continued to underperform the broader REIT market, registering a negative alpha of ~250 basis points. In the meantime, the monthly dividends have increased, suggesting potentially stronger underlying fundamentals. Yet, looking at the results of recent rebalancing and the current portfolio statistics, it is clear that the risks have become more pronounced.
Global X SuperDividend REIT ETF offers a large monthly payout. The fund's chase has taken it into mortgage REITs, the asset class designed for poor performance. At least it is almost completely out of office REITs.
