Real estate investment trust

Image
A real estate investment trust ( REIT ) is a company that owns, and in most cases operates, income-producing real estate. REITs own many types of commercial real estate, ranging from office and apartment buildings to warehouses, hospitals, shopping centers, hotels and timberlands. Some REITs engage in financing real estate. REITs can be publicly traded on major exchanges, public but non-listed, or private. [1] The two main types of REITs are equity REITs [2] and mortgage REITs (mREITs). [3] In November 2014, equity REITs were recognized as a distinct asset class [4] in the Global Industry Classification Standard by S&P Dow Jones Indices and MSCI. The key statistics to examine the financial position and operation of a REIT are net asset value (NAV), funds from operations (FFO), and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO).
