The special report in the last issue regarding real estate and stock investing was quite informative. Could you please guide me on how I can invest in REITs? - Ishaan Gandhi
Editor Responds: We value your encouraging words. For investors seeking a direct avenue into REITs, consider investing through stocks, allowing you to purchase shares in a REIT listed on major stock exchanges. Alternatively, you can explore REIT mutual funds or ETFs to diversify your portfolio. Investors can keep an eye out for REIT IPOs and participate in these when they become available.
As the Indian REIT market is in its early stages with limited options, investors should wait for the next IPO for new opportunities. Additionally, if your workplace retirement plan offers REIT investments, that could be a viable option. To initiate your investment journey, opening a brokerage account is a necessary step. If you already possess an account, the process becomes simpler. Keep writing to us with your queries.
