SREIT


Buy and Sell Properties Like Stocks

A Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") raises capital to purchase primarily real estate assets, usually with a view to generating income for unit holders of the fund. It allows individual investors to access real property assets and share the benefits and risks of owning a portfolio of property assets which typically distribute income at regular intervals.You invest in Reit much the same way you invest in stocks, and Reit investments - unlike physically owning real estate - are liquid, meaning you can cash them in at any time.

With the current volatile market, it is advisable that you return to the basic principle of investing: stick to buying defensive stocks with high dividend yields and REIT is obviously the preferred choice. Instead of depositing your savings in a bank, Reit can earn you a decent annual dividend yield ranging from 5 percent to 10 percent to beat or at least be on par with the current inflation rate of approximately 5 percent, to prevent value erosion.

Reit can be classified into:

- Health care Reits
- Office Reits
- Industrial Reits
- Retail and hospitality Reits
