Andy Rachleff, the CEO of Wealthfront argues that managed real estate funds perform poorly compared to low cost ETFs like Vanguard's REIT Index Fund; Fundrise's CEO Benjamin Miller responded in a blog post, writing "Less competitive, inefficient markets mean an investor can generally buy comparable assets at lower prices than efficient markets. With Shiller price-to-earnings (PE) ratios at all-time historic highs only seen in 1929 and 2001, more than ever investors need to find ways to invest at a reasonable cost basis."; Miller also argues that long term investors are paying a premium for the liquidity that ETFs offer, something that these investors don't need.
