REIT

‘Real Estate Investment Trust’. REITs are property investment firms that offer investors a simple way to get exposure to a portfolio of properties that generate (rental) income.

Rather than buying properties directly, investors buy shares in the REIT – which is listed on a stock exchange. The profits the REIT makes from its property rental investments can be shared with investors in the form of dividends.
