- Vanguard Real Estate Index Fund Admiral Shares (VGSLX) is a mutual fund that seeks to provide a high level of income and moderate long-term capital appreciation by tracking the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Real Estate 25/50 Index. The fund employs a passive indexing investment approach, investing all or substantially all of its assets—either directly or indirectly through a wholly owned subsidiary—in the stocks that comprise the benchmark index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting within the index; this includes equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) across specialized REITs, real estate management and development companies, as classified under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). Sector allocations feature prominent exposure to retail REITs (13.2%), health care REITs (13.0%), telecom tower REITs (11.9%), industrial REITs (10.0%), data center REITs (9.3%), and multi-family residential REITs (8.4%), with the ten largest holdings—including Vanguard Real Estate II Index Fund, American Tower Corp., Welltower Inc., Prologis Inc., and Equinix Inc.—representing 51.1% of total net assets as of June 30, 2025. The fund targets investors seeking real estate sector exposure through U.S. large-, mid-, and small-cap companies, operates exclusively within the United States, and maintains total net assets of approximately $20.185 billion with an expense ratio of 0.13% and a turnover rate of 6.7% as of May 29, 2025. Launched on November 12, 2001, VGSLX is managed by The Vanguard Group, Inc., headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania. In recent developments, Vanguard announced on August 25, 2025, its intent to seek shareholder approval to revert the diversification status of two funds, including real estate index offerings, reflecting ongoing strategic adjustments to fund structures amid market and regulatory considerations. The fund has also benefited from Vanguard's broader 2025 expansions, such as extending its investor proxy choice program to additional index funds in the second half of the year, enhancing shareholder engagement options across nearly $1 trillion in assets. Performance as of June 30, 2025, shows a year-to-date return of 1.94%, one-year return of 10.33%, and ten-year annualized return of 5.94%, closely mirroring its benchmark amid interest rate sensitivity and sector-specific dynamics in the real estate market.
