Post-Covid, listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) have become an attractive option for investors seeking a combination of fixed income and participation in India's real estate growth.
The Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on various sectors, including real estate. Lockdowns and restrictions temporarily disrupted the real estate industry, leading to uncertainties and challenges for traditional real estate investments.
However, as the economy gradually recovers and adapts to the new normal, real estate is once again gaining momentum. The demand for commercial spaces, residential properties, and infrastructure projects is on the rise, creating opportunities for growth.
Traditionally, fixed income investors have sought stable returns with minimal risk. However, with the emergence of REITs, investors now have the opportunity to participate in India's real estate growth story while enjoying relatively better returns.
How Does It Work?
Before investing in REITs, it's important to understand how they work. REITs pool money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of income-generating properties, such as commercial buildings, residential complexes, or retail spaces. Investors can buy shares of REITs on stock exchanges, much like buying stocks.
Listed REITs allow investors to participate in the real estate market without the need to directly own properties. REITs own, operate, or finance income-generating real estate assets, and they are required to distribute a significant portion of their rental income to shareholders in the form of dividends.
