It competes within a category containing 11 ETFs tracked by ETFValuer and charges an expense ratio of 0.25%.

Recent performance data shows a strong upward trajectory across all measured time horizons, starting with a 1-day return of +2.13% and a 1-week gain of +1.34%. The momentum accelerated significantly over the medium term, with the 1-month return reaching +5.79% and the 3-month return climbing to +10.84%. This positive trend continued into the longer term, as the 6-month return hit +20.98% and the year-to-date return stood at +22.92%. The fund's 1-year return of +24.85% and 3-year return of +43.38% demonstrate sustained growth over extended periods. The data indicates a consistent pattern of appreciation without any noted periods of negative returns in the provided timeframe. This steady accumulation of gains across daily, monthly, and multi-year intervals highlights a robust performance history for the RWR.
The fund carries a Low volatility label and a Beta of 0.98, suggesting its price movements generally align closely with the broader market while exhibiting less fluctuation. A Sharpe ratio of 1.38 indicates that the fund has generated a favorable amount of excess return for each unit of risk taken over the measured period. Despite the positive risk-adjusted metrics, the fund experienced a maximum drawdown of -18.85%, reflecting the potential for significant temporary declines during market stress. This combination of low volatility and a high Sharpe ratio implies efficient risk management, even as the max drawdown highlights the inherent risks of the Real Estate sector. Investors should note that while the fund has historically delivered strong returns relative to its risk, the -18.85% drawdown serves as a reminder of potential downside scenarios.

RWR Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 0.89% and average daily volume is 308K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $1.84B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: RWR is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
