Investors are securing high returns through Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts (A-REITs) than through equities, a report reveals.
Data from property funds manager, Folkestone, found that A-REITs provided total returns of 4.9 per cent in October, while investors saw returns of 4.4 per cent from equities.
The report found A-REITs have provided returns of more than 18 per cent for the year, while equities were down by 0.5 per cent.
