Retail Property Trust
A Retail Property Trust is an investment vehicle that owns and manages shopping centers, malls, and other retail spaces. Investors buy shares in the trust, enabling them to earn a portion of the rental income generated by the properties without directly managing them. These trusts provide steady income, primarily from long-term leases with tenants like retail stores, and can also appreciate in value over time. They are commonly traded on stock exchanges, making them accessible to individual investors seeking exposure to the retail real estate sector with diversification and liquidity advantages.
