History

Historical Context

In 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed Public Law 86-779, establishing Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) to democratize real estate investment. This legislation allowed individuals to invest in diversified portfolios of income-producing properties, similar to mutual funds. By 2021, REITs had expanded globally, with 490 companies representing a market capitalization of approximately $1.7 trillion, reflecting a significant shift in investment models.
