What is REIT investing? Historical correlations indicate REITs offer diversification benefits against traditional equities, with current Sharpe ratios near 1.2, reflecting improved risk-adjusted performance in stable interest rate environments. There are some major tailwinds that should keep demand for logistics real estate strong for years to come. For example, the e-commerce market has roughly quadrupled in size since 2012 and is forecast to more than double from its current size by 2030, creating a need for even more distribution and warehousing space. In fact, e-commerce retail needs roughly three times the logistics space as a brick-and-mortar retailer to handle the same sales volume. There's also a trend toward developing properties further from city centers and closer to where the customers are. REITs are required to distribute a substantial portion of their taxable income as dividends. In lower interest rate environments, these dividend distributions may appeal to investors seeking income-oriented strategies. Global capital inflows into green assets are at historical highs, bolstering long-term outlook.
