What will I gain from reading this book? or What’s in it for me? are a reader’s first queries for a non-fiction book like this one.

REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) units are that ‘sweet spot’ between debt and equity which make them a MUST HAVE in any financial portfolio. These extremely lucrative, globally-accepted investment avenues, have been recently listed in India and are still highly unexplored here. Many investors want steady income, safety of investment and avoid risks of equity markets. Although they get regular and steady income stream with debt investments, they are always in danger of losing out on capital appreciation because long time-frames have exponential cyclical upswings in assets such as stocks, metal and properties. This is when their fixed income generating capital suddenly starts looking meaningless.

REITs being unique hybrid investment instruments, can generate returns in the form of dividends, interest and rentals! They have the potential to generate high yields combined with stability while investors simultaneously have a chance to gain from their capital appreciate in future.

The current book follows the author’s earlier book named “Real Estate Investment & Financial Analysis” (REIFA). REIFA, an awarded book (awarded "Best Books of All Time" by BookAuthority) and a bestseller in its category in India. “REITs and InvITs: What’s new in the Indian stock markets” is a primer of some unique and very interesting financial instruments for real estate assets.

CONTENTS: The book is divided into 7 chapters titled (1) What are REITs (2) REITs and Real Estate Assets (3) REITs & Other Financial Instruments (4) REITs & InvITs in India (5) Legal Structure, Guidelines and Taxation (6) Investing in REITs or InvITs (7) The Future of REITs/ InvITs in India.
