About VGRNX
Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate Index Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund that seeks to replicate the performance of the S&P Global ex-U.S. Property Index. Its primary purpose is to provide broad exposure to international real estate markets, excluding the United States, by investing in equities issued by real estate companies spanning both developed and emerging economies. This fund covers a diverse range of property sectors, including commercial, residential, and specialized real estate firms, offering investors diversification across global property markets. As an institutional share class, it is designed for organizations and large investors seeking efficient access to non-U.S. real estate equities. The fund plays a significant role in portfolios aiming to enhance diversification beyond domestic holdings, as real estate assets often behave differently from other equity investments. Its strategy allows investors to capture the performance of global property markets, serving as a key component for institutional asset allocation focused on international real estate exposure.
