What Are REITs and How Do They Work?

A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-producing real estate. Think of it as a way for everyday investors to own a slice of large-scale property assets, such as shopping malls, office buildings, hotels, logistics hubs, and even data centres, without having to buy an entire building.Pooling Investor Funds

REITs collect money from multiple investors.

Owning & Managing Assets

This money is used to acquire and manage properties.

Generating Rental Income

The tenants’ rent becomes revenue for the REIT.

Paying Out Dividends

By law, REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders, making them attractive to income-seeking investors.

In short, when you buy REIT units, you’re buying into a portfolio of properties — and earning a share of the rental income.Learn more about REITs
