Benefits of REITs for institutional investors

Real estate is often a part of a diverse portfolio for large investment companies. But there are many challenges to owning single properties. REITs can change that formula.

Raise Capital

Raise capital for future expansion without selling a stake of the holding company.

Leverage

Leverage real estate assets by creating a REIT and raising capital through the partial sale of the REIT.

Transparency

Enhance corporate governance and disclosure standards that align with shareholder interests and audited financial reports.

Expansion

Raise additional capital to purchase more real estate assets by selling part of the units to new investments (Private REITs) or to the public (Public REITs).

Reduce Risk

Provide opportunities for other investors to participate in the ownership of the real estate assets.
