REIT Expert Discusses the Various Types of Real Estate Mutual Funds Available to Investors

April 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Detroit, MI – At a recent real estate investors’ association meeting, Earl E. Bird, III, provided a lot of information about REITs and Real Estate Mutual Funds.  “A real estate mutual fund is a collection of real estate companies, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and companies that supply services to the real estate market,” said Earl.

One investor asked about the benefits of investing in real estate mutual funds.  Earl explained, “Like traditional mutual funds, the primary benefits of investing in real estate mutual funds are the professional management and diversification.  You do not have to decide the best way to invest your money because a real estate mutual fund is managed by an investment professional that will assist you in making sure your investment is profitable.  With diversification, you own pieces of many different assets at one time.”

Another investor asked about different types and levels of real estate mutual fund investments.  Earl explained, “There are essentially two categories of real estate mutual funds; closed-ended, which are funds that have a limited number of shares, meaning you must purchase an existing share; and open-ended which have an unlimited number of shares, meaning the fund will create new shares for you to buy.  There are many more open-ended funds than there are close-ended funds.”

Earl also covered the different levels for investing in real estate mutual funds.  “There are four different levels; large-cap real estate mutual funds invest in companies with market values of more than $8 billion; mid-cap funds invest in companies with market values between $1 billion and $8 billion; small cap funds invest in companies with market values below $1 billion; and micro-cap real estate mutual funds invest in companies with market values below $250 million.

As the meeting was concluded, Earl made sure everyone was aware of the website, REITBuyer.com, where investors can go to learn everything they need to know about REITs and real estate mutual funds.  “There is a lot to learn and we have done all the research for you and posted all the results on our website in easy to understand terms for investors at all levels,” said Earl.
