Vident’s proprietary investment philosophy is expressed through distinct fundamentals that we believe should be top of mind when it comes to investing. These fundamentals are woven through the construction of the USREX – U.S. Diversified Real Estate Index™ (USREX) and the U.S. Diversified Real Estate ETF that tracks it. The application of Vident’s investment methodology seeks to produce a portfolio that emphasizes four primary factors — location, property type, leverage, and governance – while employing a rules-based methodology that seeks to generate diversified exposure to the liquid U.S. real estate market.
03/03/2026
LOCATION
We believe location is a key driver of real estate performance. The index employs stable property allocation targets to obtain diversified geographic exposure that favors dynamic, high-growth, and productive areas in the U.S.
U.S. PROPERTY TYPE
Apartment or office? Industrial or retail? Differences between property types matter. Fixed allocations seek to ensure diversification and balance across total assets and companies.
LEVERAGE
In our opinion, the responsible use of leverage can enhance returns, but too much debt is concerning. The index favors companies with prudent leverage and optimizes the portfolio to direct capital away from highly levered companies.
GOVERNANCE
The governance factor model is used to avoid certain real estate risks. The index considers alignment between shareholder and management, derivation of revenue, and other governance indicators. Firms with significant governance risks are excluded from the portfolio.

Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted. Short term performance is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns.
