Why Should REITs Be Part of Your 2025 Investment Strategy?

Answer from Samuel Sahn, Managing Partner & Portfolio Manager

REITs are poised for a resurgence in 2025…

As you plan your 2025 investment strategy, consider the unique advantages REITs bring to a portfolio: steady dividend income, capital appreciation potential, inflation protection, and diversification benefits. After years of underperformance, REITs are poised for a resurgence, offering attractive valuations and compelling opportunities for income and growth.

REITs provide reliable dividend yields that often outpace those of traditional equities and compete with fixed-income instruments, making them particularly appealing in today’s shifting economic environment. Moreover, their ability to hedge against inflation—thanks to rising rents—adds a layer of protection for investors. Finally, REITs’ low correlation with stocks and bonds enhances portfolio diversification, improving overall stability and risk-adjusted returns.
