Real Estate Investment Trusts in Pakistan (REITs) are investment schemes that own and most often actively manage income-producing real estate. Through such schemes, investors may own, operate or finance Income-generating property across various categories of real estate. A REIT invests in physical real estate and distributes profits from rental income and/or capital gains to its unit holders (shareholders).
The REIT model is structured like a traditional closed-end mutual fund, however, instead of stocks and bonds, a REIT investor owns real estate-backed units that sell like any other units/listed security, enabling the holder of the units to invest directly in real estate.
Types Of REITs Available In Pakistan
- Rental REITs – a scheme that invests in residential or commercial properties for the purposes of generating rental income.
- Developmental REITs – a scheme that invests in the construction or refurbishment of residential, commercial, or industrial properties.
- Hybrid REITs – a scheme that may include a mixed portfolio of rental and development properties.
Benefits Of REITs
From the investors’ standpoint, REITs enable small investors to invest in real estate through a professionally managed entity; avail of higher dividend distribution, and benefit from the relatively safer investment as customer advances and property title resides in Trust. REITs enable a broader investment portfolio and allow risk diversification; provide an easy exit to real estate investors and enable daily pricing as REIT units are tradable on the stock exchange.
Risks Associated With Investing In REITs
Since REIT is linked to the underlying property asset, a decline in the value of the asset and/or its rental capacity will directly impact the REIT’s Net Asset Value (NAV). In addition to interest rates, REIT’s dividend yields may fluctuate based on local rental dynamics, occupancy, footfall and expense levels, a general downward shift in equity market sentiment due to macroeconomic or regulatory drivers, etc. Management quality of the RMC affects returns to the investors/unitholders.
