The REIT sector is up a staggering 21.5% since the beginning of the year, while some small mid cap REITs have not moved. Case in point is small cap REIT Industria (IDR). IDR is a plain vanilla REIT that owns 18 industrial assets across Australia. IDR is still trading at is recent issue price of $2.00 and is yielding a healthy 8.4%, a massive premium to the sector yield of 5.2%. Disclosure: Freehold Funds own IDR.
