Equity REITs
Own property portfolios and depend on rent collection, occupancy, and financing discipline.
Dividend REITs in United States
REITs matter in the U.S. because they can change a portfolio from broad equity income to property-linked cash flow, with very different rate sensitivity and tax treatment.
Specialized REITs
Can offer targeted exposure to data centers, towers, healthcare, logistics, or storage.
Portfolio role
Useful as an income sleeve, but concentration and refinancing risk should be watched closely.
