Real Estate Investment Trust
|
A type of investment company that is used to
allow shareholders to share in the ownership and
income of a portfolio of real estate properties is
called a real estate investment trust or REIT.
REIT's trade the same as public stock and can be
found on the New York Stock Exchange and other
exchanges.
REIT's can specialize in in different types of real
estate such as shopping centers, income property,
warehouses, office buildings and others. It can
have the goal of income, growth or both income and
growth. Special rules for REIT's require that
most income received by the REIT be distributed to
shareholders.
The value of the shares of a real estate investment
trust fluctuate with the prevailing market for the
shares. Generally they will fluctuate with the
value of the real estate holdings held by the REIT and
may sell for a premium or discount to that value
depending upon market sentiment.
