Not All Real Estate Is Created Equal

Many investors allocate capital to public REITs as if it is a single asset class, or solely based on a property type, such as office, industrial or retail. We believe both approaches fall short. We focus instead on how these companies generate cash flow, rather than on behavioral biases that have little to do with investment results.

Publicly traded net lease REITs share a common business model, which is centered around a specific lease type, not just a property type. This business model creates four layers of diversification: (1) property type; (2) tenant; (3) industry; and (4) geography.

Net lease REITs use this business model to generate predictable cash flow derived from long-term lease contracts with built-in rent increases and minimal to no landlord responsibilities. As a result, net lease REITs have the highest gross profit margins (approximately 90%) and highest EBITDA margins (approximately 79%), relative to any other public REIT sector.
