The securitization of institutional real estate investments
Article Abstract:
Institutional investors in real estate increasingly are securitizing their commercial real estate assets to alleviate problems with liquidity in their investment portfolios. The increased securitization of commercial real estate will improve the efficiency of the market, lower the costs of transactions and information, and reduce liquidity risks. The commercial market will see the conversion of closed-end funds to actively managed real estate investment trusts (REITs), the placement of insurance company real estate assets into REITs, the expansion of extant REITs and the conversion of developers into REITs.
