PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (NYSE: PMT) invests in residential mortgages, mortgage servicing rights and mortgage-backed securities, as well as hedge investments that relate to these. The company works with prime credit quality loans that are newly originated.

Commercial REITs

Some REITs specialize in commercial properties, such as shopping malls, industrial parks or hospitals.

5. Medical Properties Trust Inc.

As its name would imply, Medical Properties Trust Inc. (NYSE: MPW) owns hospitals and medical buildings. In fact, it is the second-largest nongovernment owner of hospitals in the world. Over half (61%) of its properties are in the United States, and most of the rest are in Europe. The company has $19.7 billion in assets.

On May 23, Medical Properties Trust closed at $7.90 per share. Its 52-week range is $7.10 to $18.92 per share. The company has a forward dividend of $1.16, which translates to a yield of 14.68%.

6. Office Properties Income Trust

Office Properties Income Trust (Nasdaq: OPI) owns, operates and leases buildings to commercial tenants. It has 157 properties in its portfolio, most of which are occupied by a single tenant. These properties total 20.9 million square feet of space and are located in 33 states and Washington, D.C. 

Office Properties Income Trust closed at $7.09 on May 23 and has a 52-week range of $5.86 to $21.50. Its 14.10% yield is generated by its $1 forward dividend.

Casino REITs

Casinos are a popular investment for REITs, and they’re often quite lucrative, since the house always wins. In addition to the casinos themselves, these REITs often invest in hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues.

7. VICI Properties Inc.

VICI Properties Inc. (NYSE: VICI) invests in hospitality, entertainment and gaming properties, and it owns such recognizable properties as Caesars Palace Las Vegas, MGM Grand and the Venetian Resort Las Vegas. In all, the company owns 49 gaming facilities, which include approximately 60,100 hotel rooms and over 450 restaurants and entertainment venues. 

VICI closed at $31.09 on May 23, and its share price in the past 

52 weeks has ranged from $27.75 to $35.69 — a relatively narrow 

range given the market volatility. Its forward dividend is $1.56,

 yielding 4.94%. 

8. Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc.

Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc. (Nasdaq: GLPI) owns and operates 59 gaming facilities in 18 states, including Ameristar Black Hawk and Bally’s Casino – Black Hawk in Colorado, Bally’s Dover Casino in Delaware, Plainridge Park Casino in Massachusetts, Hollywood Casino Aurora in Illinois, Belterra Casino Resort in Indiana and Isle of Capri Casino in Iowa, among many others.

With a forward dividend of $2.83, resulting in a yield of 5.85%, Gaming and Leisure Properties closed on May 23 at $47.86. This price was right in the middle of its relatively narrow 52-week range of $42.71 to $55.13.

Takeaway

Real estate investment trusts can be volatile in terms of their stock price and their dividends. However, real estate has a tendency to act as a hedge against inflation, making it attractive in times when equities may not be. And since REITs provide income as well as price appreciation, there may be a place for them in your portfolio.

"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 26 AUGUST

…when I read the 2011 Dr Shabibi plan for the reinstatement process…He told us then that the de-dollarization is critical in Iraq’s currency reform process. So, it sounds to me like this phase of the Dr Shabibi plan is ending and they are moving to the next stage of the process. We all know what that is, don’t we…hint…hint…hint.

... the VALUE and RATE of the dinar are two different issues. Yes, the RATE should reflect a true VALUE but it does not today. They know it and we know it.  Iraq does not have to rebuild their economy for the rate to change accordingly as the value is already present, just with the resources they can now exploit and sell...Once they do rebuild Iraq cities and grow their economy the dinar should also then adjust its rate and go even higher as thy plan to put it on a FLOAT when it is reinstated. ...No, it is not possible to float the dinar starting at the program rate...

7 times more.. Iran announces the release of its money withheld in Iraq, 26 AUGUST

 7 times more.. Iran announces the release of its money withheld in Iraq

The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Friday that they released about seven times the amount of Iranian money held in Iraq within a month.

According to the political assistant to Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani, in an interview with the semi-official “Mehr” agency, most of our money is in Iraq, except for South Korea.

He said that during the negotiations with the American side regarding Iran’s funds in South Korea, they also discussed and began the process of releasing Iran’s money in Iraq.

Bagheri Kani stated that in the past three weeks, they have released almost seven times the amount of money used in Iraq last year for economic activities. They expect this to accelerate the liberation process.

Official Iranian media revealed details of an agreement between Tehran and the United States, brokered by a third country. The agreement includes a prisoner exchange and the release of Iranian funds frozen in South Korea and Iraq.

According to the Iranian News Agency, IRNA, there has been an agreement between Iran and the United States to exchange prisoners. An official source familiar with the agreement stated that Iran will release 5 American prisoners while the United States will release 5 Iranian prisoners.

He explained that in addition to releasing $6 billion of frozen Iranian funds in South Korea, a significant portion of Iranian funds in the Iraqi TBI Bank will also be released. He also mentioned that the process of releasing Iranian funds in European banks has already begun.

On July 11, Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani announced that Iraq had contacted the US to discuss payment for Iran’s 9.25 billion euro gas imports. He added that Iraq had paid 1.842 billion euros within 7 months according to the agreed mechanism.

A delegation from the Central Bank of Iraq and the Iraqi Trade Bank has reportedly left Iraq for Oman to discuss transferring funds in compliance with the US Treasury. According to Al-Sudani, the delegation’s aim is to agree on a formula for transferring these funds to Oman in agreement with the US Treasury.

Al-Sudani: Iraq has promising opportunities, and the government supports the investor and the private sector

The Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, launched the executive work on a large tourist complex project in Baghdad’s center. The project includes a hotel, residential complex, and tourist facilities.

The Prime Minister’s media office announced that they laid the foundation stone for the first Qatari investment project in Iraq, implemented by the Qatari Investment Holding Company. This initiative aims to enhance opportunities, improve the investment environment, and attract Arab and foreign companies to infrastructure projects in Iraq.

During the ceremony, the Prime Minister welcomed the brothers from Qatar and praised their initiative and persistence in implementing the first cooperation between Iraq and Qatar.

He indicated that the President of the Council thanked the government team, the Mayor of Baghdad, the Chairman of the Investment Commission, the Director of the Prime Minister’s Office, and the advisors. These individuals were responsible for preparing all the requirements related to the allocation of land and granting of investment licenses in a record time.

According to a statement, Al-Sudani stated that Iraq has many promising investment opportunities and the government provides support to serious companies. He emphasized that the government will support investors, companies, and the private sector that are serious about executing investment projects in Baghdad, the provinces, and the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

(Vietnam) Central bank joins regional payment connectivity expansion | Vietnam+ (8/25/23)

(Vietnam) Central bank joins regional payment connectivity expansion | Vietnam+ (8/25/23)

Jakarta (VNA) – The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), has officially joined the Regional Payment Connectivity (RPC) initiative. 

The recent development is an expansion of the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Regional Payment Connectivity (MOU RPC) initiated by the central banks of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand on the sidelines of the G20 Leaders’ Summit on 14 November 2022 in Bali.

On the sidelines of the 10th ASEAN Finance Ministers’ and Central Bank Governors’ Meeting (AFMGM) on August 25 in Jakarta, Vietnam's central bank signed the Supplemental Pages of the MOU RPC.

The RPC initiative was established to strengthen and enhance collaboration on payment connectivity through the development of faster, cheaper, more transparent, and more inclusive cross-border payments.

According to the MoU, member central banks agreed to promote cross-border payment connectivity based on the application of such payment methods as QR Code, instant payment, and other payment models, as well as cooperation in monitoring and building a sound risk management mechanism in line with the legal framework of member countries. Mechanisms for implementing MoU include dialogue, monitoring, evaluation, and information exchanges.

Within the framework of the Working Group on the ASEAN Payments System (WC-PSS), the members highly appreciated this initiative of the five ASEAN central banks (ASEAN5) and encouraged the participation of ASEAN members. 

Appreciating the potential benefits and opportunities from the initiative, the SBV coordinated with ASEAN5 central banks to complete the procedures to officially become the 6th member of the MoU, which demonstrates its commitment to cooperation and integration in the payment field, in line with the orientation of the Vietnamese Government and central bank as well as the current trend of promoting cross-border payments.
