How SM REIT's are different than traditional REIT's
SM REITs reshape the landscape by investing in both commercial and residential properties, offering more flexibility than traditional REITs, which usually stick to commercial real estate. The properties in SM REITs are typically smaller and less expensive, allowing for more focused investments. While traditional REITs might own massive office buildings or shopping malls, SM REITs might zero in on smaller residential projects or commercial spaces perfect for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). One key difference is that SM REITs are geared towards investors with a higher risk appetite. SEBI has set the minimum investment for SM REITs at Rs 10 lakh, compared to the Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 needed for traditional REITs. This higher entry point reflects the greater risk—and potentially greater reward—of these investments.
High Streets Vs. Shopping Centres
The retail sector in India presents an interesting comparison between high streets and shopping centres. High streets lead in apparel (29%) and food & beverages (18%), offering a lively and flexible shopping experience for consumers. Shopping centres, however, excel in apparel (33%) and entertainment (5%), providing structured and curated retail environments. Beauty products, footwear, and electronics find almost equal demand in both formats, highlighting their importance in the retail landscape. As consumer preferences evolve, both high streets and shopping centres play crucial roles in shaping India’s dynamic retail ecosystem, catering to diverse needs and driving the sector's robust growth.
