Fractional ownership is when multiple investors come together to invest capital in an asset (which could be real estate, airplane, art etc.). It provides investors a percentage ownership in an asset, which gives proportionate rights in the income and capital value appreciation of the asset. It is a simple way to own an expensive asset, by splitting the ownership.

Fractional ownership of real estate splits the ownership of high value property into smaller fractions to provide alternative investment avenues to retail investors along with proportionate ownership rights in the asset.

It’s a traditional concept and the simplest example of this is owning shares in a company, through which you have a fractional ownership in the company.

NCDs stands for Non-Convertible Debentures. It is a fixed-income or debt investment issued by companies to raise funds from retail investors, financial institutions and high-net-worth individuals at a fixed interest rate for a pre-agreed period (or Tenor). NCDs are non-convertible meaning that they cannot be converted into equity shares of the company and hence offer a fixed return which is paid on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis over the Tenor.

Secured NCDs are secured by assets owned by the company, which can be sold to recover the investment. All the NCDs listed on The Restack platform are secured by real estate assets in the form of land, plots or apartments.

You can read more about NCDs and how they work in our blog. Available in the Restack Insights on resources section of the website.

REITs, or real estate investment trusts is a trust that owns various income producing real estate. The REIT Manager has discretion to manage these assets on behalf of the REIT unitholders or investors. As per regulations, it is required to invest majority of the capital in completed assets and distribute at least 90% of the distributable income from these assets.

The key differences between REIT and fractional investing are,

1. Fractional investing involves investing in a particular asset in a particular micro-market with a particular risk profile. On the other hand, REITs are diversified across a pool of assets across geographies.

A simple way to understand this difference is investing in a particular stock versus investing in a sector specific mutual fund. Investors have their own views on each type basis individual specific risk appetite and invest across both basis their risk profiles.

2. In fractional investing, you can choose your investments across assets or geography. In REITs, the REIT manager has discretion to manage the investments through buying or selling assets.

This makes fractional investing more customizable in terms of portfolio creation and diversification across asset classes. At present REITs in India are more asset class specific.

3. REITs, listed on stock exchanges, are more volatile in terms of the price movements. On the other hand, fractional investing is less volatile when compared to REITs.

REITs have a lower investment amount and hence are more liquid as they trade on the stock exchanges.

4. Fractional investments are more illiquid, but our platform aggregates demand to facilitate secondary transfers of fractional investments.

5. At present, REITs are more asset class specific and only office REITs are available. On the other hand, fractional investing allows investors to customize their real estate portfolio from a more diverse pool of investments across asset class like office, warehousing and other emerging asset classes.
