Investors are securing high returns through Australian Real Estate Investment Trusts (A-REITs) than through equities, a report reveals.

Data from property funds manager, Folkestone, found that A-REITs provided total returns of 4.9 per cent in October, while investors saw returns of 4.4 per cent from equities.

The report found A-REITs have provided returns of more than 18 per cent for the year, while equities were down by 0.5 per cent.

Folkestone data also noted that commercial A-REITs were the best performing A-REIT sector for the month, up 6.1 per cent.

A-REITs currently trade on a 5 per cent dividend yield, a 2.39 per cent premium to 10-year bonds.
