Letter from the US: REITS a good long-term bet, says study
Investors have lost some of their enthusiasm for US REITs – real-estate investment trusts – after their poor performance in the third quarter.

The return of the REITs index has trailed behind S&P 500 by more than seven percentage points for the first three quarters of the year.
