real estate assets such as real property or loans secured by real property. That 75% can also

potential capital gains. You would most likely recommend
A. a mortgage REIT.
B. an equity REIT.
C. a growth mutual fund.
D. a GNMA pass-though. correct answers An equity REIT
When you see "rental," you immediately think of renting real estate. Of the two basic types of
REITs, an equity REIT is the one that owns property. Rental income is received from the users
of those properties. As an owner of real estate, there is always potential to sell the property for a
gain. Think of the difference between an equity REIT and a mortgage REIT as the difference
between a stock and a bond. A stock offers the possibility of income through dividends and a
,bond through interest. But, it is only the stock (equity) where there is a real potential for capital
gain.

to substantial additional sales charges.

Which of the following are the most common characteristics of a REIT?
1. It is traded on an exchange or over the counter.
2. It is professionally managed.
3. It passes through both gains and losses to investors.
4. It is a type of limited partnership. correct answers It is traded on an exchange or over the
counter and it is professionally managed
A REIT shares some features with a limited partnership, but it is a different type of business
entity. REITs are traded on exchanges and OTC and are professionally managed. Both REITs
and limited partnerships provide pass-through of gains to investors, but REITs do not provide
pass-through of losses. Please note: NASAA has recognized that, over the past few years, there
has been an enormous growth in non-traded REITs. Non-traded REITs don't trade, so there is
little or no liquidity. Unless something in the question refers to a non-traded REIT, assume that
all REITs are publicly traded either on the stock exchanges or OTC.
Which of the following would be least likely to be organized as a limited partnership?
A. Index ETF
B. Venture capital fund
C. Hedge fund
D. Private equity fund correct answers Index ETF
