Here’s a comment that was much more common when I started this job in 2006 than it is today: exchange-traded equity REITs, people used to say, are essentially “just small-cap value stocks,” implying that they didn’t offer any significant diversification benefit that you couldn’t get simply by holding a mutual fund or ETF focused on the small-cap value segment of the stock market.
Listed equity REITs have generally outperformed small-cap value stocks, posting slightly higher returns but substantially lower volatility and substantially better diversification benefits.
Net operating income (NOI) of listed REITs rose nearly 50 percent over the past four years. The steady increases in same-store NOI at a pace above the inflation rate should continue to drive earnings, and valuations, upward in the future.
REIT share prices have often responded negatively to rising interest rates, at least since 2013. Is this warranted by the outlook for their future earnings?
Nearly every recent housing market indicator has shown significant increases for July, and were above consensus expectations.
It is important during periods of market volatility and shifting economic fundamentals for investors to recall the concerns that not long ago dominated discussions about the outlook.
Diversified REITs saw FFO swing from negative $102 million in the second quarter to positive $962 million in Q3.
A few areas—travel, hotels, restaurants and bars, other recreation—were responsible for over a third of the overall economic decline in Q2, yet these categories represent just 6% of the overall U.S. economy.
There’s little difference between the income earned by the largest, most sophisticated investors in private equity real estate and the income earned by the smallest individual investors in listed equity REITs.
Concern is growing among some investors that tight labor markets may trigger an increase in price inflation.
