What are real estate investment trusts
(A-REITs)

 

An Australian real estate investment trust (A-REIT), or listed property trust, is a unitised portfolio of property assets, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Investors are issued units that can be traded on the ASX through a stockbroker.

The assets of a real estate investment trust can include commercial office buildings, industrial properties, retail shopping centres, hotels and/or leisure venues. In addition to different types of real estate, real estate investment trusts may offer diversification through owning assets in different geographic locations.
