(NURE) Nuveen Short-Term REIT - Ratings and Ratios

The Nuveen Short-Term REIT ETF (BATS:NURE) is designed to provide exposure to the U.S. real estate sector through a concentrated portfolio of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). The fund adheres to an 80% investment policy, meaning it allocates at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and any borrowings for investment purposes to REITs. This approach ensures a focused exposure to the real estate market, targeting equity REITs that generate most of their revenue from property ownership and operations. The fund is non-diversified, allowing it to take larger positions in select securities, which can lead to higher volatility but also potentially higher returns.

The ETF tracks a subset of the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index, which includes equity REITs listed on U.S. national securities exchanges. To qualify for inclusion, these REITs must derive at least 75% of their total revenue from real estate assets and have a minimum market capitalization of $200 million at the time of inclusion. This methodology ensures that the fund focuses on established, revenue-generating real estate companies. The funds structure allows investors to gain access to the U.S. real estate market through a single, liquid traded instrument.

From a technical perspective, NURE is currently trading at $32.39, slightly above its 20-day moving average of $31.86 and 50-day moving average of $31.54, but near its 200-day moving average of $31.88. This suggests the fund is in a period of consolidation. The Average True Range (ATR) of 0.41 indicates moderate volatility, while the average 20-day volume of 9,856 shares reflects moderate trading activity. The funds assets under management (AUM) of $51.93 million suggest a smaller but still viable ETF in the real estate category.
