Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to expand on the research written on the Islamic Real Estate Investment Trusts (I-REITs) thus far; this is to further expose its potential in Malaysia. I-REITs is one of the products of Islamic Capital Market investment which is based on real estate. Even though I-REITs have been established for almost 10 years, only three I-REITs are listed in Bursa Malaysia as at 31 December 2014. Based on a previous study, I-REITs has considerable potentials; these have yet to be revealed. An I-REIT is a property investment that can act as a hedge against inflation. The diversification benefits offered by I-REITs is better than Conventional REITs (C-REITs). The returns of I-REITs in the form of distribution yield are fluctuating, uncertainty and still profitable.
