I've also just dabbled with this, but may add more once I've monitored it - it's my first venture into REITs and my investigation began when I noticed the monthly dividends, which piqued my curiosity! My main initial concern was the retail environment, but being away from the high street it does seem to have avoided the worst of the effect of both the pandemic and the inevitable shift to online shopping (which was happening before that anyway). I think that providing you have a mix of types of places people want to go to rather than just shopping ( restaurant & takeaway / gyms / experiences ) then it has a ready made defence against online demand. I hope I am right - I'm just testing the water, and also wanted to make the board a bit louder!!
