It pays $0.11 per share each month, backed by seasoned managers and a diversified mix of high‑quality REITs and preferred securities. With 34 % leverage and active, tactical trading, RLTY seeks both income and capital gains, often surpassing peers. Fed rate cuts and sector resilience provide macro support, while rising unemployment and rate sensitivity pose risks.
