Your Ultimate Guide to REITs in 2022
What is a REIT?
A REIT is a company that owns, manages, or finances income-producing real estate. When you invest in these companies, you’re buying shares in real estate assets like malls, office buildings, condominiums, or even renewable energy sites. In return, investors earn dividends, just like in stock trading.
Unlike traditional real estate investing, where you need significant capital to buy properties, these investment vehicles make it easy for everyday investors to participate with a smaller initial outlay. This accessibility is why they’re gaining popularity.
Why Real Estate Investment Trusts Are a Smart Choice in 2022
In the Philippines, these investment tools are quickly becoming a go-to option for many. Even during times of economic uncertainty, they’ve managed to stay resilient, providing steady returns for investors. The stable performance has made them a popular choice for those seeking both passive income and diversification in their portfolios.
Additionally, investing in these funds allows exposure to real estate without the need to own physical property. Since shares are traded on the stock exchange, buying and selling them is as simple as trading stocks.
