When I first got into investing, I have always wanted to buy REITs, especially Capitaland Mall Trust. Reason being I go malls often and could see how popular these malls were. Plus because of regulation they are required to give 90% of their distributable income to investors. So it was a safe and relatively high yield investment.
These malls prices also remained stable, even increased during financial crises. Even when there was the hooha about increase in taxes affecting profits of REITs, the prices of REITs are still increasing steadily.
However I didn't know what to do to buy stocks and I thought FSMOne didn't offer REITs at that time. Had I known they offered REITs, I would have bought them much earlier.
