VNQ has gained just 0.06% per year over the past five years, despite being one of the cheapest funds in its category.

What is going on right now?

Its price has been climbing recently, sitting above its short-term trend but still below where it averaged over the past couple of months. Fewer people than usual are trading it, which suggests the recent rise doesn't have a lot of energy behind it.

How is the business itself doing?

VNQ holds a basket of U.S. real estate companies: warehouses, cell towers, data centers, and more. About 40% of its money sits in just five companies, so what happens to those few matters a lot.

What stands out?

It costs very little to hold, roughly a tenth of what similar funds charge. Yet over three years it has barely broken even, returning about 0.13% per year.

What comes next?

Reports say the Fed may hold rates steady or even raise them further, and government borrowing rates are above 5%. Since real estate companies borrow heavily, the cost of that debt flows straight into VNQ's earnings.
