Real estate trusts·Real estate business

Real estate trusts accept real estate such as land and buildings as trust property when the trust is established.
Real estate trusts include real estate management trusts for the purpose of managing real estate and land trusts where land owners entrust land to trust banks and the like, and such trust banks raise the necessary funds, construct buildings, lease and maintain buildings, find and manage tenants, and pay the land owners (settlors and beneficiaries) the benefits obtained in the form of trust dividend.
Refer to the ‘Aasset securitization type trust' regarding the trusts that provide for the securitization of real estate.

Trust banks handle real estate business such as brokerage services, sales (sales partnerships), property appraisals, consulting services, and securitization.
