Section 1: Section 1 is the “Overview Section” and it has 2 modules. It introduces participants to the concept of REITs and InvITs, the acronyms for “Real Estate Investment Trusts” and “Infrastructure Investment Trusts”, respectively. These investment vehicles offer investors both categories of investment– a slice of the capital markets and a slice of the real estate markets. Since it is a relatively new concept in India, the first section touches on a few related topics to quickly answer some preliminary questions that a reader seeks. The sub-topics here necessarily require more detailed explanations, which are carried out in the subsequent sections.

Section 2: Section 2 is about “REITs and Real Estate Assets”, it comprises of 2 modules. It explores the rationale for real estate investing and also caveats for the same. An understanding of the basic features of real investment impacting finance and investment decisions is intended in this part. To gain a macro viewpoint of property investing, property-level analysis is taken up here. Topics such as the basic features, pros and cons of property investing, the REIT route to such investing, etc. are covered. The latter parts this section answers an important question namely “How is financial analysis for realty assets different from other asset analysis?” This is done, as in any financial analysis, the core of all such analysis being risk and return. These measures are best represented with numbers using financial and statistical tools.

Section 3: Section 3 is about “REITs & Other Financial Instruments”, it comprises of 3 modules. REITs instruments’ financial aspects are covered here and elaborated here are differences between REIT investment instruments and other financial instruments in the capital markets such as equity, debt, mutual funds, ETFs, etc. However, the section begins at the level of property investing where it tries to seek out the replication feature of direct property investment in REIT instruments. Thereafter it moves on to the intended comparison with the financial instruments. This sequence enables the linkage of the ‘real estate offering’ and ‘financial offering’ feature of the instruments.
