The Relationship

Many researchers have questioned whether real estate investment trusts (REITs) can act as a hedge for inflation or whether REITs can act as a safe haven for investors in the event of economic downturn. However, many studies lack basic data analysis or timely data to determine the dependence of REIT returns on various economic factors. The goal of this study is to act as a meta-analysis to synthesize the relationship between REITs and several potential risk factors. This study will extend beyond the timeline of previous studies, and will examine the relationship of several hypothesized risk factors. The results of this study can help brokers in their future decisions to hedge REIT risk in a portfolio. This study will use the historical returns from the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as well as six indices. This study will also use both univariate regressions and multivariate regressions to analyze the relationship between REITs and mortgage REITs and each representative index

In this article, performance of239 real estate investment trusts (REITs) from 15 developed countries is analyzed according to their regional specific characteristics. This investment vehicle is rapidly spreading all over the world due to high returns it offers while being of low risk, and since the governments create special legislation. In 2013, there were around 30 countries where REITs can be created, so regional specifics of REITs' performance can be studied. USA has the oldest REITs market in the world with 133 trusts operating there. Popularity of American REITs is explained by the fact that they usually hold well diversified portfolios of property with stable income. This helped them rather successfully survive through the global economic crisis of2008-2010, but after that attracted close attention of institutional investors which has led to the creation of new bubble on the market. European REITs market has appeared recently, its development being slowed down by the recent crisis. The debt crisis and liquidity strain caused REITs lack of funds; economic downturn led to the reduction of trusts' returns, resulting in the outflow of the investment to the USA. In 2012, the recovery of the debt capital market reanimated the REITs market. REITs in the Asia-Pacific region are very risky thus offering a high riskpremium. Their returns are unstable and fluctuate in line with the global economic situation. After the crisis, REITs have been the most attractive investment vehicle on the market offering high yield.

This paper studies the 105 U.S. Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts for the period of 2007-2012, and explores the relationship between corporate governance, institutional ownership, and financial performance. The results are conclusive and show that the presence of women on the board of directors as well as the choice to opt for a classified board enhances the returns on assets and returns on equity. The second finding of this paper is that the percentage of stocks owned by the top 10 institutions, between the levels of 30% and 50%, are associated with higher returns on assets and returns on equity.

The Relationship

The relationship between performance measures and stock prices is well documented in the financial literature. Some studies find that the relationship is positive (Lev, 1989) and others find a negative relationship (Anwaar, 2016, Sloan, 1996), although most studies exclude REITs due to their unique tax exemptions. This paper examines the explanatory power of net income (NT) and funds from operations (FFO) as it relates to stock return in Canadian real estate investment trusts (REITs) that traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) during the 2001-2016 period. Legislation exempts Canadian REITs from corporate taxes as long as they satisfy a number of mandated requirements. The most essential legal requirement is the payment of dividend as a specified percentage of a REITs cash flow. Industry-specific cash flow measures, such as NI, FFO, or cash flow distributions may explain their stock are return performance in Canada. In particular, FFO my explain stock return performance better than NI or distribution due to its unique qualities. Analysis on a hand-collected and proprietary Canadian REIT quarterly data set that covers 2001 to 2016 reveals that FFO does in fact have better explanatory power than NI, consistent with studies of U.S. REITs.
