Performance Analysis of Selected Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

Bc. Ana Maria Chele

Bachelor's thesis

Anotácia:

The thesis analyzes the performance and risk profile of U.S. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) over a 10-year period (2014–2024), with a focus on the COVID-19 crisis. It outlines the theoretical background of REITs and financial metrics such as the Sharpe, Sortino, and Treynor ratios, Jensen’s Alpha, and Maximum Drawdown. These financial metrics are used to compare performance in regular economic conditions versus crisis periods. Finally, theoretical concepts are applied to data to assess sector-specific resilience, performance, and risk sensitivity.
