The Invesco KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT ETF (KBWY) was launched on 12/02/2010, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Real Estate ETFs category of the market.
Invesco KBW Premium Yield Equity REIT ETF (KBWY) is a strong sell due to unsustainable high dividend payout ratios and poor growth characteristics for its REIT holdings. While KBWY offers a high 8.87% yield, its methodology for selecting REITs based on the highest dividend yield has led to low-quality holdings and reduced REIT-type diversification. REITs historically experienced strong performance at the end of Federal Reserve tightening, which may be on the horizon as interest rates are reduced.
