A Smarter Way to Build Wealth Locally
REITs in Pakistan offer a low-barrier entry point into real estate, allowing investors to participate in large-scale property ventures without needing to purchase or manage property directly. These trusts typically manage diversified portfolios that may include residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments, helping to spread risk and increase stability. Regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), REITs provide a transparent and secure investment framework. They are especially attractive to salaried individuals, non-resident Pakistanis (NRPs), and business owners looking for passive income opportunities. Investors can earn regular monthly rental income while also benefiting from long-term capital appreciation as property values rise.
