In plain terms — First Trust S&P REIT Index Fund
No daily net asset value is published for this fund on our feed, so we cannot say whether it trades above or below its assets.
It pays regular distributions worth about 2.6% a year of the share price. That is a payout rate, not a return: part of it may be capital being handed back, and a one-off special payment in the last year is excluded from the regular rate.
