Abstract

South African Real Estate Investment Trusts (SA REIT) is prominent and favorable to other emerging markets, since inception the returns on investments have increased with a market capitalization of R400 billion in 2018 as compared to other markets globally. South Africa (SA) has the most advanced Corporate Governance (CG) mechanism, thus contributions to literature on CG has become vital; any collapse of South Africa’s CG mechanism has far dire impact beyond the African continent to the rest of the world. For analysis, the Generalised Method of Moments is in use. The data is source from McGregor. The study period is from 2008 to 2017. Results proved that CGI has a positive but statistically insignificant increase on SA-REIT performance.
