Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
How to trade health care real estate investment trusts
You can acquire a health care REIT through any number of ways including investment advisers and online brokerages.
I recommend:
Fidelity or E*Trade Financial offer low-cost trades with an online account. You can search for a specific Healthcare REIT through the database hosted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts.
Do your homework on health care REITs
The best health care REITs are those that have been generating returns for a long period of time and have a smart portfolio.
I recommend:
Rating services such as Morningstar can help you pick the top REITs, but you can also look at the performance of specific equities with Yahoo Finance or other tools. Ventas Inc., Medical Properties Trust and Nationwide Health Properties have been top performers.
Know the risk in health REITs
As with any investment, health care real estate investment trusts involve risk. In 2007, the 11 health care equities brought an average one-year return of 3.28%, compared to 20.47% for a 5-year return and 13.38% for a 10-year return. The one-year return fared well compared to the overall NAREIT REIT index, which produced a negative 17.83% return for the year. By comparison, the S&P index was up 5.49% for the year and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 9.81%.
I recommend:
