Boston,
MA, USA, October 5, 2012 -- Mall REITs are becoming an attractive
choice for investors, claims Alternative
Asset Analysis, following the publication of a
report on the issue in Forbes this week.
Forbes
real estate analyst Brad Thomas claimed that investing in Mall-based
real estate investment trusts (REITs) can be a lucrative choice for a
number of reasons. He suggested that the retail sector's growth will
mean strong incomes for malls as well as the construction of new
malls across the US. There is already 1,400 malls across the US and
the demand for retail mall space is increasing. This is all good news
for investors, according to Anthony Johnson, AAA's analysis partner.
Mr
Thomas backs this view, explaining: "Excellent locations and
moderate but steady growth in retail sales, reduces risk and provides
for predictable and growing cash flows."
The
median occupancy levels for regional malls in the US is an impressive
94.2 per cent - showing that malls that are built, do not suffer from
problems attracting tenants, and this, making income.
REITs
are a popular form of alternative investment at a time when all kinds
of alternative asset classes are growing in popularity. AAA advocates
all forms of alternative investments, with an emphasis on ethical
investments, such as forestry projects and social impact investing.
These
types of investment choices are proving attractive to people who want
to make a difference with their cash investments and reflects the way
the markets have changed since the economic crisis. "People are
less interested in short term gains and are more likely to be in it
for the long-haul when it comes to investments these days,"
explained Johnson.
He
added, "Investing in a social fund that lends money to small
businesses in a developing countries, for example, can be very
rewarding and profitable. Investing in a sustainable plantation
projects that helps reduce deforestation is also a lucrative and
ethical choice."
