Roots, as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), is not FDIC insured. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insures deposits at banks and savings institutions, offering protection against bank failure for deposits up to a certain limit. However, investment products like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and REITs, including those offered by Roots, are not covered by FDIC insurance.
Investments in REITs are subject to market risks, including the loss of principal. The value of your investment in Roots can fluctuate based on the performance of the real estate market and the specific assets within the Roots portfolio. While real estate investments can offer the potential for significant returns through income and property appreciation, they also carry inherent risks that should be carefully considered.
