Real estate investment trust
Article Abstract:
The Federal Reserve Board's decision to increase interest rates in 1994 damaged the strength and stock prices of real estate investment trusts (REITs), and this trend will continue as long as the Fed maintains a tight monetary policy. The extremely low prices of some REITs might be attractive to investors, and real estate fundamentals will be good in 1995. However, investors should be prepared for lower yields and falling stock prices unless interest rates begin to fall.

Real estate investment trust
Article Abstract:
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have underperformed the market in 1995. Since REITS must pay out at least 95% of income as dividends they have entered the capital markets to preserve their equity. Investors will find REITs a good investment if they desire moderate growth and income through the year 2000. An able management team, low dividend ratios, and a good balance sheet are assets to consider.
