Investors looking for passive income are often drawn to real estate investment trusts (REITs), thanks to their attractive dividend yields and relatively low entry price points. But although REITs are generally seen as a resilient asset class, not all REITs are created equal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This raises the question, how can investors ever know what the best options are for S-REITs? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savvy investors know that it\u2019s more prudent to own a portfolio of REITs from different sectors, rather than just a few individual REITs. There are several three options for building a diversified portfolio of REITs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Buying multiple REITs through their broker<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Investing in a REIT exchange traded fund (ETF)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Investing in Syfe REIT+<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The first option is likely to incur expensive brokerage fees given the multiple transactions necessary to achieve a fully diversified portfolio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the average investor, they may be better off choosing the second and third option. But what are the differences between REIT ETFs and Syfe REIT+?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A REIT ETF is a basket of REITs that tracks the performance of a specific REIT index. There are five REIT ETFs currently listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
