REITs

REITs, or Real estate investment trusts, own and manage properties to make money.
Companies that manage portfolios of high-value real estate properties and mortgages are
known as real estate investment trust companies.
The tax-efficient Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) owns a portfolio of income-producing real
estate properties. A sponsor establishes a REIT by transferring ownership in exchange for
providing assets to the trust in exchange for the trust's units.
One can imagine a real estate mutual investment trust as a mutual fund where investors' money
is pooled, and the investors receive units of the mutual fund in exchange. REIT units of publicly
traded REITs reflect ownership of real estate assets or real estate investments as opposed to
shares of publicly traded firms.
Dividend income and capital gains are two ways that profits are made. For instance, they rent
out properties and get paid for them. The stockholders are then given income and dividends
from the collected rent.

What do real estate investment trusts offer to their

investors?
REITs typically allow investors to own expensive real estate and receive dividends, gradually
increasing their capital.
Investors can take advantage of the chance to increase their capital and simultaneously
produce income. This investment option allows large and small investors to store their money
and profit accordingly. Small investors might combine their funds with others to invest more in
the significant commercial real estate market.
Data centers, infrastructure, healthcare facilities, housing complexes, and other commercial
properties are included in REITs. In 2019, India saw the launch of its first REIT. After three
years, there are now three (Mindspace, Brookfield, and Embassy REIT). Institutional and
ordinary investors alike are increasingly choosing to participate in REITs.
What characteristics should a REIT have?
This situation is where the usual valuation metrics like PE, EPS growth, margin expansion, etc.
While assessing real estate investment trust, several factors should be considered.
Some of these factors include the following-
Average Weighted Lease Expiry

A vacancy is the biggest threat to managing a commercial property. The amount of time left
before the property becomes unoccupied is determined using WALE. Years are used to quantify
it. The better, the higher.
Yield of Distribution
90% of distributable cash flows must be distributed to investors by REIT companies as per the
legislation. A metric to assess these payments is distribution yield. This is not, however, a
guaranteed reward. Depending on how well the trust performs. The higher, the better once
more.
Mortgage To Value
The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio calculates how much debt was borrowed from the underlying
asset's value. The lower the leverage, the better, as in any other firm.
Cash Flow from Net Distribution

A crucial indicator of how much money is still available to give to unit holders is the NDCF.
Every REIT typically has a two-layered structure.
High utilization
The occupancy rate is the percentage of available square footage in a REIT's portfolio. This is a
crucial performance indicator. As a result, rental and dividends are increased, and payout
regularity is ensured. The cash flows are more consistent with the higher occupancy. However,
it is unlikely always to have 100% occupancy.
Diversified holdings
The highest occupancy rate will be found in a well-run property in a desirable area, such as an
office building. On the other hand, a surplus of properties may result in lower rental rates &
earnings. Oversupply and concentration risk are less likely to affect REITs with diversified
portfolios across tenants and locations.
Value of Net Assets

One of the most excellent methods for evaluating REIT companies is NAV. Consider it similar to
a book value per share. It is determined by subtracting all obligations from the projected market
value of the properties. By the number of outstanding shares, this is divided. The price of a
REIT's claims can be calculated more precisely using NAV.
REITs frequently trade below or above NAV. The supply and demand of the sold units are to
blame for this. In such circumstances, monitoring the share price's distance from NAV is
essential.
Sponsor
A strong sponsor will significantly benefit from brand awareness, trustworthiness, on-time
delivery, etc. The right of first offer (ROFO) will also be available on properties controlled by
REITs.
Taxable income
Three factors—interest revenue, dividend, and debt repayment—form the cash allocated to unit
holders. Except for dividend income, all REITs are taxed equally. It depends on the tax structure
of the SPVs that one chooses. The exact rate of taxation that applies to REITs also applies to
unitholders. Investor interest is projected to increase for REITs with the most significant non-
taxable component of NDCF.

What is the future outlook of real estate investment trusts or

REITs?
Due to rising interest rates, inflation, and recessionary concerns, investment managers
specializing in REIT and investment portfolios predict that macroeconomic conditions will
remain challenging in the coming years.
Conclusion
However, it's crucial to remember that operating results are still excellent, acting as a catalyst
for a REIT to come back the following year for individual investors as worries subside and the
capital markets experience greater certainty.
