Global X SuperDividend REIT ETF
Tracks the Solactive Global SuperDividend REIT Index — 30 highest-yielding global REITs, monthly distributions.
Updated Reviewed quarterly
SRET concentrates in the 30 highest-yielding REITs globally — yields this high typically signal structural pressure (mortgage spread compression, dividend-cut risk, leverage). Holdings are heavily weighted to mortgage REITs (mREITs), which carry interest-rate sensitivity that can produce large drawdowns when rates move. The 8.0% distribution is real but above-average dividend-cut risk applies. Read Global X's prospectus and the holdings concentration before investing.

NZ tax treatment
How is SRET taxed for NZ investors?
SRET is US-domiciled. NZ investors apply Foreign Investment Fund rules once total overseas-share cost basis crosses the de-minimis threshold. Below it, only dividends are taxable.
The FIF de-minimis threshold is NZ$50,000 (source) of overseas-share cost basis. Below it, FIF rules do not apply and only dividends are taxable.
Most NZ retail investors use Fair Dividend Rate (FDR): deemed income = 5% × opening market value × your marginal rate. Comparative Value (CV) can be lower in flat or down years.
US dividends carry 15% (source) withholding under the NZ–US tax treaty (file W-8BEN; default rate without it is 30% (source) ). The withheld amount can be claimed as a foreign tax credit on your IR3.

FAQ
Common questions about SRET
What is the SRET ETF? ⌄
SRET is the Global X SuperDividend REIT ETF — it tracks the Solactive Global SuperDividend REIT Index, holding the 30 highest-yielding global Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). TER is 0.59%, distributions paid monthly. Yield ~8.0%. Holdings are concentrated in mortgage REITs, healthcare REITs, and high-yield property sub-sectors.
Why does SRET pay such a high yield? ⌄
SRET screens for the highest-yielding REITs globally — and high yields often signal structural pressure on underlying business (mortgage spread compression, dividend-cut risk, leverage). Mortgage REITs (mREITs) typically dominate the holdings; their yields reflect interest-rate-sensitive carry trades that can collapse when rates move adversely. The high distribution is real but carries above-average dividend-cut risk.
SRET vs VNQ vs IYR — what's the difference? ⌄
VNQ (Vanguard Real Estate ETF, 0.13% TER) and IYR (iShares Real Estate, 0.39%) are broad-market REIT ETFs with ~3-4% yields. SRET is a yield-screened sub-set focused on the 30 highest-yielding REITs globally — narrower portfolio, higher distribution, higher concentration risk. SRET is a yield play; VNQ/IYR are diversified property exposure.
How is SRET taxed for NZ residents? ⌄
Above NZ$50,000 cost basis, FIF rules apply (FDR method most common). REIT distributions in the US are typically classified as ordinary income (not qualified dividends), which means the 15% US-NZ treaty withholding may apply differently from equity dividends. Because SRET holds global REITs (US, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore), the tax mix is complex — confirm with your broker's annual statement.
