Exchange traded fund are representing the all such Mutual Funds which can be traded on the stock exchanges and the exchange traded funds are traded like the normal stocks continuously during market hours

Real estate investment trust is representation of the investment into only real states and there will also be traded on the stock exchanges.

mutual fund will generally charge of very high amount of Management fee than exchange traded fund and real estate investment trust.

Real estate investment trust will only invest into real estate whereas mutual funds and exchange traded funds can be investing into various other assets
