Understanding REITs: Structure and Guidelines

A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) allows individuals to invest in portfolios of different types of real estate assets. REITs must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders annually in the form of dividends. While REITs provide exposure to real estate returns, issues include a lack of clear tax treatment, potential high transaction costs, and the absence of a dedicated regulatory framework in some countries.
