Real Estate Investment Trust Funds (REITs)
About REITs
Many real estate investments are designed to provide attractive, growing dividends. A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a publicly-traded company that owns, and usually operates, income-producing commercial real estate, such as apartments, shopping centers, offices, hotels and warehouses.
Historically, real estate investments such as REITs often have had relatively low correlations with other types of investments.
