Strategy facts
The opportunity for investors
-
Increased total return potential:
REITs have the potential to enhance portfolio returns with historical outperformance compared with global equities and bonds -
Historical inflation hedge:
REITs have outperformed equities during high inflation environments1, with dividends from a durable and often growing income-stream tied to contractual leases and capital appreciation tied to real asset ownership -
Multiple diversification benefits:
Exposure to diversified geographies and property types with low correlations to other asset classes; complementary to a private real estate allocation -
Liquidity:
More liquid than direct ownership of property and provides immediate exposure to diversified real estate

Investing in REITs involves special risks, including interest rate fluctuation, credit risks, and liquidity risks, including interest conditions on real estate values and occupancy rates.
