REIT ETF and T-bill yields converge, but risk profiles differ significantly for investors.

Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) and iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (SGOV) currently offer similar yields, making T-bills attractive due to near-zero rate risk.

Investors should choose SGOV for safety and liquidity, while VNQ suits those seeking long-term growth and willing to accept volatility. The choice depends on interest rate trends and risk tolerance.
