.
Chart of the Day
Back in October 2000, we mentioned that diversifying an investment portfolio with REITs was worth considering. Today's chart illustrates that REITs have actually outperformed the S&P 500 since 1972. How have they done lately? So far this millennium, the S&P 500 has struggled with a 30% loss while REITs have managed to post an 80% gain!

Notes:
-
A REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) is a company that owns and
sometimes operates income-producing real estate (i.e. apartments,
malls, offices, and industrial parks).
- All returns include reinvested dividends and have been adjusted for inflation.
- REIT performance is measured with the NAREIT total return index for equity REITs.

When interest rates start to go up again, it would be a good time for the REIT/S&P500 ratio to change
