The FREL Exchange Traded Fund is an exchange-traded mutual fund that holds stocks both of U.S. listed companies and foreign companies on other global stock exchanges. Its holdings will be sorted by random order. It is possible that you won't find the exact stocks representing the fund as the weights of individual stocks have not been calculated. It is worth noting, however, that FREL's beta means that the fund has been less risky overall than the market.
FREL's beta indicates it has been less risky than the market
Its beta is 1.6. This implies that it should rise by 1.87% over the next 12 months. However, this is actually double what the beta value would suggest. That means FREL has been less risky than the market over the past year. That's a good thing for investors. It's also not very volatile, so it's not a good investment to buy and hold the stock.
Beta for this fund is less volatile than the market's which indicates that it has experienced fewer volatility swings within the past year. FREL's holdings are made up of industrial, hotel, as well as retail REITs. These types of realty tend to be less volatile that other markets, but a beta of 1.4% indicates that FREL's volatility is lower than the market.
It has a dividend payout of 2.699%
While a high dividend rate is desirable in most situations, what makes one stock better than the other? Dividend yield is calculated using the financial report for the previous full year. If the company has just published its annual report, the dividend yield will still be acceptable. However, it becomes less relevant the further time passes since that report was issued. To calculate trailing dividends investors will need to add the last four quarters dividends in order to calculate a trailing twelve months dividend number. A trailing dividend number may be appropriate if dividends were recently reduced or raised.
It could be a stock that is U.S.-listed
The FREL ETF may contain stocks U.S.-listed. This ETF tracks the cap weighted index for US residential real estate companies. It can hold both public and private REITs. FREL may include non-REIT real estate firms. It is taxable as ordinary income. Investors may want to invest in other types if they are not interested in investing on the U.S.-listed Stock Market.
Frel ETFs may contain U.S.-listed stock, and this could be a concern for some investors. It is important that you understand that non-U.S. fund owners can have up to three percent of voting stock in U.S. Registered Funds. Avoid this situation by being cautious when investing into an ETF.
It might also own industrial REITs
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are pools of investment money that are derived from the sale of real estate properties. These companies invest in industrial properties and receive a portion their income from leasing them. There are many types of REITs and each one has its unique advantages and disadvantages. Industrial REITs focus more on manufacturing, distribution, as well as warehouse properties than office REITs. These REITs earn their income by leasing and renting out the properties to industrial companies and other businesses.
Although Industrial REITs are typically categorized by their uses, one of its main benefits is the flexibility. Industrial properties are often flexible in their management, whether a company requires storage space or a distribution centre for a particular business. Industrial REITs may also provide a higher level of flexibility than their counterparts. Industrial properties could be close to transportation routes making them more profitable.
FAQ
What is a mutual funds?
Mutual funds consist of pools of money investing in securities. Mutual funds provide diversification, so all types of investments can be represented in the pool. This helps reduce risk.
Professional managers oversee the investment decisions of mutual funds. Some mutual funds allow investors to manage their portfolios.
Most people choose mutual funds over individual stocks because they are easier to understand and less risky.
Stock marketable security or not?
Stock can be used to invest in company shares. This is done by a brokerage, where you can purchase stocks or bonds.
You can also directly invest in individual stocks, or mutual funds. There are actually more than 50,000 mutual funds available.
These two approaches are different in that you make money differently. Direct investment allows you to earn income through dividends from the company. Stock trading is where you trade stocks or bonds to make profits.
In both cases, ownership is purchased in a corporation or company. But, you can become a shareholder by purchasing a portion of a company. This allows you to receive dividends according to how much the company makes.
With stock trading, you can either short-sell (borrow) a share of stock and hope its price drops below your cost, or you can go long-term and hold onto the shares hoping the value increases.
There are three types of stock trades: call, put, and exchange-traded funds. Call and put options give you the right to buy or sell a particular stock at a set price within a specified time period. ETFs, also known as mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, track a range of stocks instead of individual securities.
Stock trading is very popular because it allows investors to participate in the growth of a company without having to manage day-to-day operations.
Stock trading can be a difficult job that requires extensive planning and study. However, it can bring you great returns if done well. It is important to have a solid understanding of economics, finance, and accounting before you can pursue this career.
What is security in a stock?
Security is an investment instrument, whose value is dependent upon another company. It can be issued as a share, bond, or other investment instrument. The issuer promises to pay dividends to shareholders, repay debt obligations to creditors, or return capital to investors if the underlying asset declines in value.
What is the difference between non-marketable and marketable securities?
The principal differences are that nonmarketable securities have lower liquidity, lower trading volume, and higher transaction cost. Marketable securities are traded on exchanges, and have higher liquidity and trading volumes. These securities offer better price discovery as they can be traded at all times. However, there are many exceptions to this rule. Some mutual funds are not open to public trading and are therefore only available to institutional investors.
Non-marketable securities can be more risky that marketable securities. They are generally lower yielding and require higher initial capital deposits. Marketable securities are usually safer and more manageable than non-marketable securities.
A large corporation bond has a greater chance of being paid back than a smaller bond. Because the former has a stronger balance sheet than the latter, the chances of the latter being repaid are higher.
Because they are able to earn greater portfolio returns, investment firms prefer to hold marketable security.
