The Retail Property Trust (Retail REITs)

Retail Property Trusts, commonly known as Retail REITs, are companies that own and manage retail properties, such as shopping malls, grocery stores, and outlet centers. They generate income primarily by leasing space to retailers. Investors can buy shares in these trusts, allowing them to earn a portion of the rental income without directly owning property. Retail REITs often provide a steady income stream through dividends, making them popular among investors seeking income and diversification in their portfolios. Their performance is influenced by consumer spending trends and the overall health of the retail sector.
