A Closer Look At Global Property Markets

Indices make a useful way to track market sectors.  Property is one example.  The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Real Estate Index Series is a set of indices that let investors keep track of different regions of the global property market.

(EPRA = European Puplic Real Estate Associateion.  NAREIT = National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.)

Conveniently, many of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT property indices are tracked by iShares ETFs.
