Scholarship Contest Details
To enter, write a 500-word thoughtful essay about the The Pros and Cons of Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts.
In 2024, the essay topic was focused on Asset Allocation and Diversification, a very important part of any investment strategy. Asset Allocation generally involves the appropriate mix of cash,
stocks, bonds, and alternative investments, including real estate, to arrive at the appropriate level of risk and return for investors.
One type of real estate investment we see in many client portfolios are Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). We want you to learn about REITs and discover the pros and cons of investing in them.
Warning: It’s very easy to cheat with AI but remember what we do every day; we uncover and prosecute fraudsters.
So research, think, learn, and write personally about the The Pros and Cons of Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts.
We are interested in reading what you have to write! The winner will receive $2,500 to put towards their tuition.
