Real Estate Investment Trusts or REITs have been popular in countries like Australia and the US for many years and, until now, have been unavailable to the UK investment market.
Since the Governments collapse on self invested personal pensions ( SIPPs ) and the ability to invest your SIPPs directly into residential property, the only choice left for investors looking to invest thier SIPPs into residential property seems to lie in UK-REITs (UK Real Estate Investment Trusts). Although as not as beneficial as SIPPs, the UK investors will be able to take advantage of the great tax benefits this form of investment has to offer.
UK-REITs or UK Real Estate Investment Trusts work in a similar way to Property Investment Funds ( PIFs ). Trusts made up of many investors' pooled funds may be used to purchase income property, and are then traded on the major stock exchanges in the same way as stocks.
UK-REITs have a number of benefits as with SIPPs, including a rather generous tax break and income is also paid regardless of share performance in the form of dividends. Although not as enticing as the proposed Self Invested Personal Pensions or SIPPs, UK real estate investment trusts (UK-REits) are much less volatile and are well suited to a comfortable long term investment.
