OT Should I sell my Reit Fund

I own a reit fund for diversification, but I am wondering if I should sell it, because both office buildings (due to working from home) and shopping malls seem to be dying industries.

Does anyone have an opinion on this?

What type of real estate do they invest in?

Itโ€™s a fund. Cohen & Steers Real Estate Securities A CSEIX. It has a mixture of properties. Some towers, some digital storage, some public storage, but also some malls, and some shopping centers. Morningstar likes it, but they can be wrong.

As Elan has noted, the annual inflation rate is going to drop in half by mid-summer. This should be good for interest dependent holdings. Of course, not all real estate is created equal. As you noted, there are segments facing headwinds. I would look into switching into a REIT that focused on residential properties as the housing shortage will not be going away anytime soon.

Of course, there is a possibility of a recession come up, but they always come and goโ€ฆ

I was limited to what was in my 401k, so I switched to a 1/2 s and p 500 index, and a 1/2 total international index fund.
