Real estate investment trusts (REITs) offer investors the opportunity to invest in a diverse range of real estate assets without the need to directly purchase and manage physical properties. REITs are managed by professional teams and are traded on major stock exchanges, providing investors with liquidity (ability to easily buy and sell their investments at low cost).
REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends, providing a source of income for investors.
Unlike the fixed nominal income from bonds, the real estate assets can command rent increases in line with CPI over time. This both increases the dividend income over time, and leads to long-term capital gains from the assets rising with inflation.
