What does Target Healthcare REIT Ord do?

Operating in the specialist real estate sector alongside peers focused on healthcare infrastructure, this firm acquires and leases out purpose-built care homes to operators. Income is generated through rental payments collected from these care home operators, which are tied to inflation to help protect returns. The crucial element to keep an eye on is how smoothly those tenants can pay their rent while managing their own rising staffing costs.
