Abstract
Real Estate Investment trust is currently moving from traditional real estate sectors (like office, retail and residential) to more specialized sectors that offer new investment opportunities characterized by a different risk-return profile with respect to standard asset classes. The interest for the logistic sector is increased over time for both diversified and focused REITs even if the supply of indirect real estate investments that are investing in this segment of real estate is still limited. This chapter provides an analysis of the key differences of the European market with respect to the other geographical area considering both the focused logistic REITs and the role of logistics in the portfolio of diversified REITs.
