- Cambria Global Real Estate ETF (BLDG) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in securities of domestic and foreign companies, including those in developed and emerging markets, principally engaged in the real estate sector and real estate-related industries that exhibit favorable multi-factor metrics such as value, quality, and momentum. The fund employs a proprietary quantitative methodology developed by its investment adviser, Cambria Investment Management, LP ("Cambria"), to select approximately 75 holdings from global real estate equities, REITs, and related assets; it offers quarterly dividend distributions, daily liquidity on the CBOE BZX exchange, a 0.59% expense ratio, and a competitive yield relative to private real estate investments. BLDG targets institutional and retail investors seeking diversified exposure to global real estate with lower fees and tax efficiency compared to traditional alternatives. Cambria Investment Management, LP, a SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2006 and headquartered in Manhattan Beach, California, serves as the sponsor and portfolio manager for BLDG, with key managers Mebane T. Faber (Chief Investment Officer) and Jonathan Keetz overseeing operations. The ETF, launched on September 24, 2020, under the Cambria ETF Trust, maintains geographic diversity across regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets, with top holdings as of recent data encompassing U.S. REITs like Welltower Inc., BXP Inc., and Omega Healthcare Investors; international names such as Klépierre SA (France), Wereldhave N.V. (Netherlands), and AEON REIT (Japan); and others like Social Housing REIT plc (UK) and YTL Hospitality REIT (Malaysia). In recent developments, BLDG earned a 5-star Morningstar overall rating and 5-star 3-year rating as of December 31, 2024, among 172 global real estate funds, reflecting strong risk-adjusted performance. The fund declared a quarterly distribution of $0.5572 per share, underscoring its income focus amid real estate sector volatility influenced by interest rates and economic data. Institutional interest has grown, exemplified by Carter Financial Group Inc. initiating a position of 146,343 shares valued at approximately $3.65 million in Q2 2025, signaling sustained demand for its multi-factor strategy. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or structural changes specific to BLDG or Cambria were reported in the last 1-2 years, with the firm maintaining its independent focus on quantitative ETF management.
