- BGuaranteed returns
- CNo risk of principal loss
- DTax-free income
Explanation
Why A — Liquidity through exchange trading
Publicly traded REITs are listed on stock exchanges, providing investors with liquidity — the ability to buy and sell shares readily at market prices. This is a significant advantage over direct real estate ownership or non-traded REITs, which are highly illiquid. However, publicly traded REITs are subject to stock market volatility and do not guarantee returns or protection of principal.
