Retirees who are worried about inflation eroding the value of their income may want to check out real estate investment trusts.

REITs are companies that own and/or operate properties like shopping malls, office buildings, warehouses and apartment buildings. Although they come with more risk than some other income-producing investments — such as Treasury bonds — they also have inflation protection built into them, experts say.
