There are over 40 UK based real estate investment trusts available with the total market capitalization of roughly 60 billion GBP, with portfolios of commercial, residential, retail, healthcare and logistic properties.
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-generating real estate. Modeled after mutual funds, REITs pool the capital of numerous investors. This makes it possible for individual investors to earn dividends from real estate investments—without having to buy, manage, or finance any properties themselves.
