Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek are joined by Bloomberg’s Jack Sidders to break down how Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) work and why they’ve struggled in recent years. They explore the impact of interest rates, the significance of different sectors such as warehouses, student housing and data centers, and why many UK REITs trade at steep discounts. With interest rates potentially falling and supply constrained, they also discuss whether REITs could be poised for a comeback — and where investors might start.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
