Modern portfolio theory argues that well-diversified investment portfolios should include allocations to all assets in the market basket, including real estate, which is the third largest asset in the U.S. investment market basket after equities and bonds.
Commercial real estate has gone through many boom/bust cycles in the past. These cycles have inevitably affected the performance of REITs through their impact on rents, vacancy rates and property valuations. There are certain features that are common to nearly all these cycles, including overbuilding and a relaxation of risk standards by builders, lenders and investors. There are also differences across these cycles, however, much as Tolstoy wrote in Anna Karenina, “each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
The economic backdrop today suggests that REITs are poised to continue their recent solid performance in the second half of 2019 and into 2020.
