Investor Outreach
Nareit’s Investment Affairs & Investor Education Outreach Program has been developed to inform institutional investors, individual investors and financial advisors worldwide about the many positive investment performance attributes of REIT-based real estate investment, thereby empowering all cohorts of investors to make more informed decisions about the appropriate allocation of assets invested in stock exchange-listed REITs.
Nareit’s outreach initiatives target key constituents in the investment decision making of both institutional and individual investors. These constituents include sponsors of DB pension plans and DC retirement savings plans; endowments and foundations; investment consulting firms that advise institutional investors with respect to their investment policies; registered investment advisors; and developers and providers of investment products.
