Reits returns lag equities on bullish Nairobi bourse
An analysis by the Reits Association of Kenya covering five years shows that the average price returns for Reits stood at seven percent in 2024 and 2.7 percent in the first half of 2025.
Returns from real estate investment trusts (REITs) have fallen behind those from equities after recording single-digit gains at a time when shares have rallied to an all-time high valuation at the Nairobi bourse.
REITs are a form of collective investment schemes in real estate that allow an investor to own interest or rights in a property by buying units that earn returns from the income and capital gains generated by the property.
