Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) typically distribute cash dividends to their shareholders on a regular, scheduled basis dictated by regulatory frameworks and corporate declarations. In many major international markets like Singapore and the United States, REITs commonly distribute payouts on a semi-annual or quarterly basis. Regulatory mandates generally require REITs to distribute a high percentage of their taxable income to unitholders to maintain tax-exempt or tax-transparent pass-through status.
