REIT
Also called: real estate investment trust, REITs
A SEBI-regulated trust that owns income-producing property, such as offices or malls, and passes most of its cash flow to unitholders.
REIT units trade on the exchange. Distributions depend on rents, occupancy and debt costs, so they can fall, and unit prices move with interest rates and property values. They are not a substitute for fixed deposits.
