EPRA REITs leaflet 2023
Date
Event Description
Listed Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are companies that own, operate, develop and manage real estate assets for obtaining returns from rental income and capital appreciation. They help communities grow, thrive, and revitalise and provide an investment opportunity that makes it possible for everyday citizens as well as large institutional investors to benefit from valuable real estate, dividend-based income and total returns. As societies in Europe are facing challenges to provide for their rapidly greying populations, REITs play a crucial part in providing retirement security to millions of people, by offering long-time investors like pension funds and insurers stable and highly competitive assets to invest in. Fourteen European countries have already recognised a public benefit to incentivise real estate investment through public markets and have introduced REIT legislation in their jurisdiction. Providing an overarching framework for mutually recognising REIT legislations across jurisdictions would bring a significant boost to cross-border investments in Europe.
