Jacob Frydman Explains why Property Income Investors Are Tempted by REIT

Oct 13, 2019

REITs were established by the United States Congress in 1960

New York, NY - October 12, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —

Economic experts from the University of California-Davis, University of Bonn and the Deutsche Bundesbank (Central Bank of Germany), conducted a groundbreaking study. Its results show that between 1870 and 2015, investors from wealthy countries like USA, Japan, or Germany, recorded an annual return on housing of slightly over 7%, when investing. This indicates that these assets were less risky when compared to equities and bonds of the same time frame. Jacob Frydman indicates that purchasing a property is still the safest method to secure income, and that there are many market access opportunities for everyone. Frydman points to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) as an advantageous component of a balanced financial portfolio, which offer the opportunity to enjoy gains without the risks of direct realty purchases.

REITs were established by the United States Congress in 1960 with an aim to provide investors with access to ownership in specialized commercial real estate portfolios with varied income-production offerings. REITs are defined as property shares in developments such as shopping malls and multi-unit residential buildings offering profit generation through tenant payouts. Since its enactment in the US, variations of this model have been adopted and implemented in more than 30 countries globally. According to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), approximately 80 million Americans have directed funds towards REITs through retirement saving plans and other such mutual funds, with the US economy benefiting from close to $52.8 billion in new construction and routine capital expenditures for property maintenance in 2016 alone. Current market valuation of the entirety of REITs in the US is an estimated gross of $3 trillion in assets, and what Jacob Frydman observes as one of the most influential investment products of both the domestic and international financial sectors.

Faced with a global economy defined by highly volatile markets increasingly shaped by political factors, REITs remain a safe choice for the cautious investor due to the ever-increasing demand for housing and commercial real estate. Furthermore there are many benefits of mixing REITs with financial holdings including but not limited to dividend potential, tax efficiency, greater ability to apply leverage and to hedge against stock market volatility. Perhaps one of the most attractive factors of REITs for many is the great degree of control they provide when building and directing investment strategy with the freedom to carefully select specific asset types, to determine how much debt to employ and to participate in active management of property.
