The objective of a REIT is to generate a regular dividend income stream for investors typically derived from income from investment properties, usually in the form of rent, with the additional opportunity for capital appreciation of the underlying assets and increases in the value of the equity.
REITs are typically managed by an external executive management team which identifies the properties to acquire, sell or hold and manages the assets of the REIT. This management team then manages the properties, often through the use of third party property managers, with the aim of maximising the potential returns in line with the REIT's strategy. Some REITs may also develop and redevelop properties from time to time.
