What are REITS?

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) offer an opportunity to invest in real estate but without owning them physically. Like a mutual fund house which pools in money from investors and invests in equity, REITs pool in money to purchase real estate.

REITs may generate income in the form of rents or by way of capital gains on sale of properties. The profit is derived after adjusting various operational costs and paid to investors in the form of dividends, in proportion to the units purchased.
