These Boring Assets Beat the Nifty in 2025

Your stocks didn't move much. But some boring-looking real assets had a very good year.

In 2025, REITs and InvITs delivered around 19.55%, compared with roughly 11% from the Nifty 50 and 6.8% from government bonds.

Pure REITs did even better, returning around 29.68%, helped by strong office leasing.

But returns aren't the only reason to look at them.
REITs and InvITs allow investors to participate in income-generating assets like office buildings, malls, highways and power infrastructure without directly owning those assets. They can also distribute income generated by the underlying assets.

With combined REIT and InvIT assets crossing ₹9 lakh crore, listed real assets are becoming a meaningful investment category in India.

So, how do REITs and InvITs actually work, and what should investors know before considering them?

Watch the reel to understand the opportunity and the risks.
