Yeah, sure thing.

So, well, real estate investment trusts, or REITs as they're commonly known, are basically publicly traded landlords.

The REIT regime came in just after the global financial crisis, just about 20 years ago.

And the idea is that, so unlike a conventional listed landlord that can kind of do whatever it likes with the money it makes, a REIT distributes the vast majority of its earnings in the form of dividends to shareholders,

So, mostly, it owns investment properties, properties that are rented out to companies that generate a rent, and it pays those rents out in the form of dividends to shareholders.

But they'll also do, or most of them will do, a little bit of developments.

They have a development portfolio as well, and that might be where they make their sort of development profits from building buildings, renting them out, and then selling them on.

Exactly, yeah.

The tax is key, I should have said.

So, yeah, it's a sort of tax advantage structure so that you're not paying kind of double taxation.

So they have some exceptions that other landlords don't benefit from.

Yeah, of course.

There's a lot to unpack there.

If we start off just talking about real estate, commercial real estate very broadly, and then we can talk about the particular issues that have impacted the listed part of it and the REIT sector in particular.

But for real estate, I guess probably the most important thing fundamentally is interest rates and bond yields.
