[@daveparko3519]

REITs is a relatively new investments vehicle in kenya but I have heard about it since year 2004 in USA, Now coach Susan thanks for talking about Vuka. I have heard of Qwetu students accommodation and the beautiful thing about REITS is being mandated to pay dividends twice a year. I am an investor and that very informative so I won't mind investing in REITS.

Dipak loves you

[@dmwas.]

That is a great overview of REITS. What I like about it is the "low" entry amount, the underlying investment (real estate) offers diversification into real estate, one can put in additional capital at lower amounts as well, the WHT is 5% not so bad. What I don't like is that the value of the units can fluctuate, the dividend payout is dependent on earnings and not sure how much it fluctuates, there is a 1% fee to exit (its not a lot but the more money have in it the more costlier that gets) I could be wrong but am pretty certain there is a management fee in the woodworks somewhere, it could be worked out in the returns such that whatever dividend allocation shared is less the management fee - there is no free lunch. Generally what I don't like is inherently some of the risks of investing in this asset class. Otherwise, that is a great video on REITS - of course minus the sales pitch - lol - that's just me.

[@mukuhinjenga9489]

Absolutely right, and the culture of corruption that has become the norm in our society, after all inherent expenses and management fee, there will be no dividends to take home. Better buy what is referred to as idle land and put up Mabati temporary structures and grow from there.

[@dmwas.]

@@mukuhinjenga9489 From their financial reports, in 2022 they paid a dividend of 0.64 per unit and in 2023 paid 0.77 per unit. So in 2023 if you had 100K invested that is 4545.45 units @.77 that's Ksh 3,500 before taxes and whatever fees that could be associated with the investment. I could be wrong but that is how I interpret the math. So to be fair there is some dividends right there. Is it worth the investment? Can one get better returns in a different investment vehicle? That is a different question and up to each investor to decide. Again the challenge with buying land and putting up the mabati structure is the upfront capital which REITS tries to address.

[@sam_orville]

Hi Coach,the last time I checked their ROI was about 5%.What will convince me to choose REITs and leave MMFS which we all know have ROI of above 13% Remember we are all fighting against inflation.

[@skylarngugi9894]

You do not need to be convinced to leave MMF, she asking you to add another road aka diversification) to your financial freedom. Not all roads to financial freedom are the same 13 lanes aka 13% ROI some are 5 lanes . The goal is to keep adding more roads so that if there is a road closure on one road you my dear are still moving. The Goal is to LIVE in FINANCIAL FREEDOM ESTATE! SOFT LIFE ehhh.

[@rewelkariuki419]

Hi Susan. Thank you for such an informative post. Can the REITs units depreciate in value?

[@vukainvestment3424]

Hi, the I-REIT units are derived from the Net Asset Value of the Assets. This means the unit price is reflection to the value of the property which constantly appreciates.

[@arthurgumbo5597]

Hello Coach, unlike MMFs where the fund doesnt sit in the Fund managers balance sheet thereby derisking the investor incase the the fund manger collapse does the REIT fund sit in the balance sheet of the fund manager ?

[@vukainvestment3424]

HI, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Money Market Funds (MMFs) operate under different structures, particularly in how they relate to the fund manager's balance sheet. Similar to MMFs, REITs are structured as separate legal entities. The assets and liabilities of a REIT are kept on the balance sheet of the REIT itself, not the fund manager or REIT manager. This separation provides a degree of protection to investors. If the fund manager collapses, the assets of the REIT remain intact and separate from the fund manager's assets. The REIT's performance and value are tied to the underlying real estate assets and operations, not the financial health of the fund manager. Additionally, in a REIT, your funds are asset backed, hence it's considered low risk.

[@arthurgumbo5597]

Thanks Coach. Can you mention the difference between D-REIT & I-REIT ?

[@thomasorungo6898]

@arthurgumbo5597 D-REIT focus is on development of commercial properties say, shopping complexes, office space complex and such infrastructure. It’s ROI is usually big. You also require at least Ksh 5million to invest in D-REIT. That’s why most investors in it are big orgs or institutions, and pockets of wealthy individuals. I-REIT is more on rental income. It’s more of being a virtual landlord. These angle of investment products are more common in the developed world as compared to developing countries. Kenya stands out as one amongst the few firsts in Africa with these class of investment

After registration what next​@@vukainvestment3424

[@sabinamamaphiktoria7524]

is it similar to "balance fund"

[@vukainvestment3424]

Hi, REITs own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate. They provide a way for individual investors to earn a share of the income produced through commercial real estate ownership without actually buying, managing, or financing any properties themselves. On the other had, Balanced funds invest in a mix of asset classes, typically including stocks, bonds, and sometimes other securities. The goal is to provide a balance of income, capital appreciation, and risk mitigation. The key difference between the two is on the investment focus & structure. In essence, REITs offer targeted exposure to the real estate sector with an emphasis on income, while balanced funds provide a diversified investment strategy across various asset classes, aiming for balanced growth and risk management.

[@evanswanyanga9648]

Can laddering apply in Reits just like bonds ?

[@vukainvestment3424]

Yes it can. You simply need to invest in different REIT's, however in Africa we have few REIT's as it is a new concept.
