The bond market is filled with a strong gaming atmosphere and the stock market's structural opportunities are differentiated. Against this background, public REITs are gradually becoming the "third choice" for institutional asset allocation.

The reporter learned that this year, some leading bond private equity firms have stepped up their research on the public REITs market, allocating it as a supplement to stable assets. At the same time, many new faces have appeared on the list of strategic placement investors for public REITs. Not only trusts, insurance companies and other institutions have actively participated, but also non-traditional strategic placement investors such as private equity funds and industrial companies have rushed to buy.

In the view of industry insiders, with the acceleration of the pace of "new products", the types of underlying assets of REITs products will continue to be enriched. Against the backdrop of increased volatility in the stock and bond markets, the allocation value of REITs has become increasingly prominent. REITs have the characteristics of long-term high dividend ratios and relatively stable operations. After the market's understanding of such assets returns to rationality, more and more allocation-oriented long-term institutional investors will increase their investment in REITs.
