If someone had invested in VNQ then, which if I recall correctly was yielding close to 9.5% due to its huge NAV/price decline, then they would have done very well too, as in > 120% in 9-months, but the yield now deducting return of capital from dividends is less than 2.5%. That is at the wrong end of the risk continuum from my perspective, although I can't say that REITs as an asset class will perform extremely poorly this year.
