US REITs must distribute at least 90% of their taxable income as dividends under the IRS code, making them structurally one of the highest-yielding equity sectors available to investors. The US REIT market encompasses an extraordinarily diverse range of property types — including data centres, cell towers, self-storage facilities, healthcare campuses, logistics warehouses, and single-family rental homes — many of which don't exist as investable asset classes in other countries' REIT markets. REITs were first authorised by US Congress in 1960 with the explicit goal of giving ordinary investors access to large-scale, income-producing real estate — a mandate they have fulfilled, with the US REIT market now exceeding $1.4 trillion in market capitalisation.
