Guggenheim Investments, the investment management and advisory business of Guggenheim Partners, has launched a new Guggenheim Emerging Markets Real Estate ETF (EMRE), the first ETF to focus exclusively on emerging markets real estate.
Guggenheim Emerging Markets Real Estate ETF (EMRE) invests primarily in publicly traded emerging markets real estate securities that seek to benefit from the growth of the real estate industry and the income typically generated by real estate investments across nearly two dozen emerging market countries.

EMRE seeks investment results that generally correspond to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the AlphaShares Emerging Markets Real Estate Index.
The index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of the investable universe of publicly traded companies and real estate investment trusts that derive a majority of their revenues from real estate development, management and/or ownership of property in the countries of the S&P BMI Emerging Markets Index.
EMRE is the fifth ETF in Guggenheim’s product line affiliated with index provider AlphaShares, a firm led by Chief Investment Officer Dr. Burton G. Malkiel, author of the widely read investment book, A Random Walk Down Wall Street.
"Emerging markets real estate provides the potential for an attractive return stream that combines the growth potential from these regions’ favorable geopolitical and demographic megatrends with an attractive yield component," Dr. Malkiel said.

By GlobalData"Investments in emerging markets real estate also may offer added portfolio diversification because of the sector’s low correlation to U.S. equities and offer potential protection from inflation in a rising interest rate environment."
EMRE joins Guggenheim’s suite of innovative ETFs, which includes the popular lineup of BulletShares® defined-maturity corporate bond and high yield corporate bond ETFs, and such popular strategic beta options as Equal Weight and Pure Style ETFs.
"We’re pleased to offer advisors and investors another innovative solution and the first ETF to access one of the most under-exposed areas of the global real estate market," said William Belden, Managing Director, Product Development at Guggenheim Investments.
Emerging markets real estate has expanded from just 2% to 11% of listed global real estate securities in the last 14 years.1 Trends behind that growth include urbanization, increasing consumerism from an expanding middle class, rising foreign direct investment, and the creation of investment-friendly vehicles that provide access to the local real estate industry. One billion people are expected to enter the global consuming class by 20252, boosting annual consumption in emerging markets to $30 trillion, up from $12 trillion in 2010.3
