Average Trading Volume

The average trading volume is approximately 160000 shares daily, indicating reasonable but not high liquidity.

Bid-Ask Spread

The typical bid-ask spread tends to be around 0.1%, which is reasonable but may vary depending on market conditions.

Market Environment Factors

Changes in interest rates, economic growth, and real estate market cycles significantly impact SRET. Global economic conditions and international real estate markets also affect performance.

Growth Trajectory

SRET's growth is tied to its ability to attract income-seeking investors and maintain a competitive dividend yield. Changes in strategy or holdings are generally infrequent, focusing on maintaining the high-yield objective.

Competitive Edge

SRET's primary advantage is its focus on high dividend yields within the REIT sector, attracting income-focused investors. This niche strategy differentiates it from broad-based REIT ETFs. Its global exposure provides diversification, though that also adds currency risk. However, the high yield comes with a risk of capital depreciation due to the selection criteria.

Volatility

SRET may exhibit higher volatility than broad-based REIT ETFs due to its focus on higher-yielding, potentially riskier REITs.

Market Risk

SRET is subject to risks inherent to the real estate sector, including interest rate risk, property value fluctuations, and economic downturns. The focus on higher dividend yields can also lead to investments in financially weaker REITs, increasing the risk of dividend cuts or bankruptcies.

Ideal Investor Profile

SRET is suited for income-seeking investors who are comfortable with higher risk levels and potential capital depreciation in exchange for high dividend yields.

Market Risk

SRET may be more suitable for investors with a higher risk tolerance and a focus on generating income, rather than long-term capital appreciation. It is best used as a small component of a diversified portfolio.
