It was a tough week for real estate funds following the sudden spike in Treasury bond yields. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond surged to 4.93% from 4.63% - a level unseen since 2007, the year that saw the start of the subprime mortgage crisis. As a result, the real estate sector - already one of the worst performers within the S&P 500 index so far this year - plunged 4.64% over the week, bringing its year-to-date performance to -11.64%.

Memories of the financial crisis appear to have spooked investors, triggering a precipitous drop in sector-wide figures. ETFs related to real estate faced the brunt of these revived fears, recording a stark drop of 4.00% over the week.

Benchmarking indexes delivered similarly underwhelming performance with the FT Wilshire 5000 Real Estate Index suffering a fall of 4.00%. These negative trends would suggest a deep level of apprehension which is widespread and not just confined to niche markets or isolated assets.

Large funds were not immune to the industry-wide downturn either. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) witnessed its NAV contract by 4.15%, while even stalwarts like Schwab U.S. REIT ETF (SCHH) registered losses amounting to 3.94%.

This disconcerting slide in real estate-based investments brings into focus how vulnerable such markets can be when interest rates spike unexpectedly, despite geopolitical tensions.
