Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)
Verbatim from SGX (accessed 2026-05-27).
A company, usually traded publicly, that raises money from shareholders and invests that money in a portfolio of real estate properties. REITs are modeled after mutual funds, although the tax treatment of REIT income is different.
