NCTR Features Nareit’s New Pension Trustee Website

08/23/2019 | by

Last week, the National Council on Teacher Retirement (NCTR) promoted Nareit’s new pension trustee website in its weekly newsletter, FYI. The newsletter is written by NCTR’s director of federal relations and distributed its plan sponsor and corporate members. The article, “Investing in Real Estate: What Trustees Should Consider,” links to Nareit’s new defined benefits site and REIT.com.

NCTR’s membership includes 63 state, territorial, and local pension systems. These systems serve more than 19 million active and retired teachers, non-teaching personnel, and other public employees, and have combined assets of more than $2 trillion in their pension funds.

What's a REIT?

REITs, or real estate investment trusts, are companies that own or finance income-producing real estate across a range of property sectors. These real estate companies have to meet a number of requirements to qualify as REITs. Most REITs trade on major stock exchanges, and they offer a number of benefits to investors.

Why Invest in REITs

REITs historically have delivered competitive total returns, based on high, steady dividend income and long-term capital appreciation. Their comparatively low correlation with other assets also makes them an excellent portfolio diversifier that can help reduce overall portfolio risk and increase returns. These are the characteristics of real estate investment.
