Definition ∞ Private REITs are real estate investment trusts that are not publicly traded on stock exchanges. These trusts pool capital from investors to acquire, manage, or finance income-producing real estate, offering exposure to property markets without direct ownership. Unlike public REITs, private REITs are typically offered to accredited investors and often have less liquidity but may provide higher potential returns. They are subject to different regulatory requirements and reporting standards compared to their publicly listed counterparts.
Context ∞ The tokenization of private REITs on blockchain platforms is an emerging area, potentially offering increased liquidity and fractional ownership to a broader investor base. This innovation could transform real estate investment by reducing entry barriers and streamlining transaction processes. However, regulatory clarity regarding the classification and trading of tokenized private REITs remains a significant discussion point.
