CT Real Estate Investment Trust (CT REIT) is an unincorporated, closed end real estate investment trust formed to own income producing commercial properties primarily located in Canada. Its portfolio is comprised of over 350 properties totaling approximately 27 million square feet of GLA, consisting primarily of retail properties located across Canada.

‍

CT REIT creates long-term value for Unitholders by growing its portfolio of income producing properties and development projects, benefiting from its relationship with Canadian Tire Corporation, its most significant tenant and controlling Unitholder. This close association and alignment is a competitive differentiator that provides important insight into potential real estate acquisitions and development opportunities that together with long-term, escalating leases position CT REIT for solid growth.

‍

CT REIT entered the market in October 2013 with one of the most successful Initial Public Offerings for a Canadian REIT in recent years. CT REIT is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol CRT.UN.

Financial advisor

A financial advisor who manages your investments can invest in this fund for you. Many investors find working with a financial advisor helpful, especially as they build wealth and their financial situation becomes more complex. In addition to investment advice, a financial advisor can help you with taxes, retirement, estate planning, insurance, education planning and more.

‍

If you don't have an advisor, ask your network for referrals or choose one through the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada or the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada.

Excellent way to invest your money if you're able to let it sit for 2 to 3 yrs. Payoff is greater than any other financial institution I've researched. Professional and friendly staff with proficient lawyers working. I was very nervous when I did my first investment and now I'm excited to flip it into another investment after my 1st investment paid out this past April 2019. What a great way to save for your future especially if you don't have a pension plan.
