Why WhiteOak CIO Ramesh Mantri prefers REITs, InvITs over high dividend yield stocks

While yield will be the primary driver of returns for this Fund, capital appreciation is also expected to play a significant role. REITs and InvITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their net distributable cash flows to unitholders, so a large slice of the portfolio's return is contractual, rent- or toll-linked income rather than sentiment-driven.
