⏳ Reading Time: 9 minutesBefore we get into which UK REIT ETFs to invest in, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page when it comes to what is an ETF. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs), are a kind of security that follows an asset, whether that asset is a commodity, a sector, or something else that can be bought and sold on a stock exchange, in a similar way to that of a regular stock or share. When it comes to ETFs vs Index Funds, both are worthy investment vehicles for investors, the differences between the two can make each product more or less suitable for a given investor.
What about REITs? An REIT, or Real Estate Investment Trust, is a form of investment fund, similar to a mutual fund, whose portfolios are comprised of real estate holdings of private residences, commercial real estate like offices or retail locations. Real estate investment trusts companies own and manage real estate properties to generate income. The three main types of REITs are Equity REITs, mortgage REITs, and hybrid REITs.
