What are REITs (Real-Estate Investment Trusts)? If you don't know, here is where you will learn it! Everything you need to know and more...

It is my belief that a well diversified investment portfolio should include equities, bonds (ok maybe not in this low rate environment), ETFs, insurance products, real-estate, and non-correlated investment products. It should also include REITs (which could be part of your non-correlated investment portfolio). But what are REITs you ask? Well, I (ok maybe not me, but my guest) have all the answers. Listen to learn more.   This episode is  sponsored by: Alignvest Student Housing REIT (ASH REIT) is a private REIT focused on consolidating the highly fragmented purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) sector in Canada.
