Retail REITs

Retail REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) are companies that own, operate, or finance retail properties such as shopping malls, supermarkets, and big-box stores. Investors can buy shares in these REITs to earn income from the rent paid by tenants. They provide a way to invest in commercial real estate without directly purchasing property. Retail REITs generate revenue through leasing spaces to retail tenants, and their value depends on retail industry trends, property locations, and occupancy rates. They offer diversification in investment portfolios and typically pay out most earnings as dividends to shareholders.
