Real estate investment trusts (REITs) can be a great way to diversify a portfolio, especially during a market correction. These companies invest directly in real estate and real estate securities. They provide exposure to an industry that doesn't necessarily correlate with the stock market, meaning they tend to act as a hedge against market volatility.
Invitation Homes (NYSE: INVH) and Public Storage (NYSE: PSA) are two stand-out REITs to own during a market retreat because they provide exposure to booming real estate industries and are backed by strong long-term demand. Here's a closer look at these leading REITs and why they should be on your buy radar right now.
