Hoya Capital High Dividend Yield Index

RIET: diversified exposure to high dividend yielding real estate

The Hoya Capital High Dividend Yield Index (RIET Index) is a rules based index designed to provide diversified exposure to 100 of the highest dividend yielding real estate securities in the United States, designed to collectively provide income through high dividend yields.

The index spans large cap, mid cap, and small cap REITs alongside real estate operating companies, with balanced representation across property sectors. This page covers the index methodology, its construction rules, and how income focused investors can use it as a building block for a dividend oriented real estate allocation.

RIET is designed for investors seeking high current income from real estate, with dividend yield as the central selection criterion. Details on the index rules and rebalancing are published on this page, and the full list of index members is available on the holdings page.

Dividend yield is the organizing principle of the index: constituents are screened and weighted with income as the explicit objective, spanning equity REITs, mortgage REITs, and real estate operating companies across the capitalization spectrum. The page also covers how the index is constructed and rebalanced, and how its yield profile compares with broad real estate benchmarks, giving income focused investors the context needed to evaluate it as a long term building block.
