Mortgage-backed securities (MBS)-focused REIT ETFs like iShares Mortgage Real Estate ETF (REM) and VanEck Mortgage REIT Income ETF (MORT) offer high yields but carry significant interest rate risks. These ETFs invest heavily in companies managing MBS, which behave like bonds and lose value when interest rates rise, potentially reducing ETF share values and dividends. While high yields are attractive, investors should be cautious as rising rates can trigger margin calls and losses, similar to the 2008 mortgage crisis. Monitoring interest rates is crucial for investors considering these ETFs, as their performance is closely tied to rate movements rather than traditional property-based REITs.
