A well balanced and diversified portfolio takes into account some key real estate asset stocks. Why these become relevant is owing to the risk factor attached to the stocks. Australian real estate investment trusts (REITs) generally are associated with low risks and higher returns unless the macro cycle acts adversely. Below are examples of 3 REITS that have been known and explored for diversification per se over the last good number of years. Not all of them proffer a buying opportunity at the moment but nonetheless have performed well in the past and few still have potential for future.
