Are Real Estate Investment Trust considered a safe investment choice in times of financial shock?
- This paper focuses on real estate investment trust (REIT), one specific asset class in the real estate sector, and intends to answer the following research question: are real estate investment trusts a safe choice for investors, particularly during financial shocks? This study re-examines the relationship between public-traded U.S. REIT and other asset classes by implementing statistical dependence analysis and OLS regression to determine whether and how they follow other markets in times of ambiguity. This study's final results indicate that public-traded U.S. REIT investment should not be considered a safe investment during crisis times because it follows the equity market.
