real estate investment trust n. nick-named REIT, a real estate investment organization which finds investors and buys real property and gives each investor either a percentage interest in the property itself or an interest in a loan secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on the property. Usually the loan is used to develop the property and build upon it, and then there is a division of profits upon sale---if there is a profit. How to thank TFD for its existence?

history, REITs continue to see much merger and acquisition interest that could increase leverage and secured debt for firms involved, Moody's Investors Service said in a new report. Ross said some investors who previously had been targeting public REITs will shift to smaller private equity funds and hedge funds as well as limited partnerships, joint ventures and direct investments in niche properties. According to a May report on REITs in Asia from CB Richard Ellis, nearly a dozen more are expected to list later this year. |
