Real estate or property is a key asset class in an investment portfolio. Typically, before REITs were introduced, an investor may invest in property stocks and/or physical (landed) property to get exposure in the real estate sector.
Investors now have an option to invest in REITs by paying only a fraction of the real estate prices. In other words, REITs provide a way to invest in quality large-scale commercial real estate without having to buy the properties directly. REITs typically offer you a stable income stream and attractive distribution yields.
What are the benefits of investing in listed REITs?
-
Affordability:
Investments in REITs cost a fraction of the cost of direct investment in real estate. You can start off with minimal investment outlay. -
Liquidity:
REITs are more liquid compared to physical properties. Units of listed REITs are readily converted to cash as they are traded on the stock exchange. -
Stable income stream:
REITs tend to pay out steady incomes (similar to dividends), which are derived from existing rents paid by tenants who occupy the REITs’ properties. -
Exposure to large-scale real estate:

Professional management:
