I've recently become interested in REITs for my 401k as a way of diversifying. Sites like Vanguard say that they provide diversification from stock market holdings and I have always been a fan of real estate. The problem is that when plotting the performance of REITs against the S&P 500, the REIT funds seem to behave similar to stocks.
For those who hold REITs, where do they fit into your asset allocation? Do you think REITs provide diversification from stocks?
