Real Estate Investment Trust

REITs allow companies to raise capital without selling a stake in the holding company itself.

Companies can leverage on their real estate assets by creating a REIT and raising capital through the partial sale of the REIT.

REITs will allow the company to keep up to 75% of equity, so you don't need to sell a whole property just to raise capital.

Establishing a REIT will allow companies to raise further capital to purchase more real estate assets.

REITs can increase a company’s ability to acquire an investment grade rating for unsecured debt, thereby reducing the cost of capital.

Strong corporate governance and disclosure standards provide the ability to expand the investor base due to the added comfort.

REITs provide competitive long-term rates of return that complement the returns from other stocks and from bonds.

Significantly higher on average than other equities, REITs have produced a steady stream of income through a variety of market conditions.

Shares of publicly traded REITs are readily converted into cash because they are traded on the major stock exchanges.

Real estate has historically had a low correlation to other asset classes, giving investors the opportunity to diversify their investments.

Real estate rents and values tend to increase when prices do. This supports REIT dividend growth and provides a reliable stream of income even during inflationary periods.

With ongoing disclosures, investors are kept up to date with the REITs activities.
