A GREAT REAL ESTATE RELIGNMENT UNDERWAYAGREATREALESTATERELIGNMENTUNDERWAY

There is significant dispersion in return across property types amplifying winners and losers due to the disruption from accelerating digitalization trends. As the asset class transforms itself to meet the needs of the post-pandemic world, it is creating opportunities for investors who can capitalize on the increased dispersion between REIT prices, balance the reopening trade with longer-term post-COVID tailwinds, and identify tactical opportunities in failing property types.

Risks— Investing involves risks. Some investments are riskier than others. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Foreign investments may be volatile and involve additional expenses and special risks, including currency fluctuations, foreign taxes, and political and economic uncertainties. Emerging and developing market investments may be especially volatile. Investments in securities of growth companies may be especially volatile. Investing in real estate poses certain risks related to overall and specific economic conditions, as well as risks related to individual property, credit, and interest rate fluctuations. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) may not be suitable for all investors. There is no guarantee a REIT will pay distributions given the inherent risks associated with the market. A REIT may fail to qualify as a REIT as defined in the Tax Code, which could affect operations and negatively impact the ability to make distributions. There is no guarantee a REIT’s investment objectives will be achieved. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
