Opportunity Deepens for REITs
May 6, 2025
PGIM Real Estate’s Rick Romano, Daniel Cooney and Michael Gallagher explore the current market environment, including region-specific insights on the most compelling global REIT opportunities.
Global real estate investment trusts (REITs) are navigating a complex yet opportunity-rich landscape, driven by shifting market dynamics and regional trends. Volatility has created compelling valuations, particularly in sectors backed by demographic demand and limited supply. As macroeconomic pressures and geopolitical considerations evolve, active management is essential for unlocking market opportunities.
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. Investing in real estate may involve additional risks due to its narrow focus; is non-diversified, so a loss resulting from a particular security or sector will have a greater impact on an investment’s return; invests in derivative securities, which may carry market, credit, and liquidity risks; and invests in foreign securities, which are subject to currency fluctuation and political uncertainty. These risks may increase an investment’s share price volatility. Investment strategies such as diversification and asset allocation do not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. 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.
