  22. Real Estate Mutual Funds ( REMF) Real Estate Mutual Funds – Introduction In simple terms, Real Estate mutual funds are close ended mutual funds with a lock-in period of 3 years. These mutual funds will invest in real estate properties and being the owners of these properties, they will let out these properties on rent. The rent so earned will be distributed to investors as dividend. When the mutual fund attains maturity, the company can sell its holdings and return your investments. SEBI has kept the scope of the REMF wide open, as the guidelines allow REMF to invest in the following sectors: • Directly in real estate properties within India • Mortgage (housing lease) backed securities • Equity shares of companies which deal in properties • Other securities like debt instruments
