The data were analyzed by means of descriptive and inferential statistical tools. Findings from the study revealed that the return profile of REITs and non-REITs equities in Nigeria had some level of volatility, with the non-REITs outperforming the REITs investment asset (the highest returns obtained from REITs investment was 5.43%, while the highest returns for the non-REITs was 41.79%).
