Business Trust Syndicate

Definition: An investment arrangement that pools participants' funds through a business-trust structure to acquire, develop, or operate property.

Example

Investors purchase beneficial interests in a trust arrangement that acquires an income-producing property.

Keep the distinction clear

Syndication describes pooling investments; it does not prescribe one universal entity type. A business trust is not automatically a REIT or eligible for REIT tax treatment.
