Hi Reddit,
Within my largely passive portfolio I hold Vanguard's REIT Index Fund. I am growing increasingly concerned about the exposure to retail given long-term changes in the way people are shopping, the decline of malls, fall of mainstream department stores, etc. Retail is the index's largest sector and Simon Property Group is the largest holding.
Do you have any advice on this? Is there a way to get index-like exposure with a reduced retail allocation? Could I rebuild REIT exposure through several sector focused REITs?
Would appreciate any insights on this topic. Thanks.
