REIT risk models.

Securitized real estate, treated as the property it is. Two REIT risk models on one factor methodology: US, and the global FTSE EPRA/NAREIT universe.

United StatesREIT

US REIT

A real estate investment trust model, treating REITs as the securitized real estate they are.

Measures the risk of REIT portfolios by treating the firms as securitized real estate, not as generic equities. It reads the factors that actually move property: the geographic distribution of what a firm owns, and its composition by property type.

A generic equity model reads a REIT as a financial stock and stops there. Northfield decomposes it into the real estate underneath — so two trusts with similar market betas but different property mixes carry visibly different risk. For property held directly rather than through a listed trust, the same philosophy runs deeper in Private Asset Risk, which builds real-estate risk bottom-up from leases, tenants, and financing.
