REITS
In 2026, Smartkarma brings you our inaugural global reit symposium, a high-impact platform connecting institutional investors, REIT managers, analysts, and C-suite leaders for deep insights and cross-border engagement.
Why REITs Matter More Today
REITs are becoming an increasingly important asset class for fund managers because they combine the stability of real estate with the liquidity and diversification benefits of listed securities.
Liquidity vs. Direct Real Estate
Unlike traditional property investments, REITs trade on exchanges, allowing fund managers to enter and exit positions efficiently without the long timelines of direct real estate transactions.
Diversification Benefits
REITs provide exposure to multiple property types—offices, retail, logistics, hospitality—across geographies, reducing concentration risk.
Attractive Yield
By law, REITs distribute a significant portion of rental income as dividends, offering steady cash flows that appeal to income-focused funds.
Global Expansion
Markets like Singapore have evolved into international REIT hubs, with portfolios spanning Asia, North America, and Europe, giving managers access to global property exposure through a single market. Globally, important REIT markets include US, Australia, Japan and parts of Europe (notably Germany and the UK). These regions host some of the largest and most liquid REITs, making them critical for fund managers seeking diversified exposure
Risk-Adjusted Returns
Empirical evidence shows REITs can outperform direct property investments when trading at discounts to net asset value (NAV), improving portfolio efficiency.
