What does Supermarket Income REIT plc do?

This property trust collects rent from massive supermarket buildings leased to giant household names like Tesco and Sainsbury's. It makes its money through long-term rental agreements that usually rise alongside inflation, passing those steady cash flows straight to shareholders via dividends. The critical detail to keep an eye on is how shifts in national interest rates affect property values and borrowing costs.
