abrdn Global Premier Properties Fund to Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund has underperformed RQI over the long run. RQI trades at a 9% discount to NAV, while AWP trades at a premium, despite RQI's stronger long-term NAV performance. AWP's 13.6% yield is unsustainable, with 10-year total returns at just 4.38%, whereas RQI's 7.11% annualized return aligns better with its 9.7% yield.

REITs are refusing to break despite another rate shock: the 10-Year Treasury reached 5%, yet REITs remain higher by roughly 7% in 2026 as the once-dominant rate correlation weakens further. Solid fundamentals are increasingly doing the heavy lifting, with healthy property-level cash flows, improving earnings visibility, strong dividend coverage, and better balance sheets helping REITs absorb the rate shock. Cooling supply increasingly reinforces fundamentals: excluding Data Centers, REIT development pipelines are roughly 40% below their 2022 peak and 2019 levels; Data Centers remain the exception at seven times 2019 levels.

Elevated interest rates push property cap rates higher, creating historically attractive entry multiples for institutional REIT buyers. CEFs transform low-yielding institutional REIT holdings into monthly cash checks. Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund Inc. holds high-conviction stakes in premier blue-chip REITs, consistently outperforming the passive VNQ benchmark across full economic cycles.

Drawing cash flows from real estate doesn't mean you must deal with taxes, tenants, and toilets. REITs present a powerful engine for passive real estate income, with diversification and built-in professional management. We discuss our top picks offering yields of up to 13%.

U.S. equity markets pulled back from record highs this week as long-term Treasury yields remained elevated, with renewed fiscal concerns after federal debt crossed $40T. Oil prices extended their rebound as stalled Iran negotiations and severely depressed Strait of Hormuz tanker traffic kept geopolitical risk elevated, pushing WTI crude another 5% higher to nearly $87/barrel. Housing data remained soft as starts, pending sales, and builder sentiment stayed depressed amid mortgage rates near 6.7%, but weak construction continued to reinforce the underlying housing shortage.

REITs concluded a surprisingly strong earnings season, with 83 REITs - or 83% - raising full-year FFO guidance, just 4% lowering, and the average outlook increasing 1.4% from prior guidance. Strong Fundamentals, Weak Tape: REITs slipped modestly during earnings season despite widespread guidance raises, as renewed interest-rate pressure outweighed improving property-level trends and earnings momentum. Upside standouts included Hotel, Industrial, Data Center, Billboard, Office, Senior Housing/Skilled Nursing, and Single-Family Rental REITs, while Self-Storage finally showed a convincing pricing inflection.

Elevated interest rates have pressured REIT valuations, but sector fundamentals and profitability remain resilient. Don't shy away from buying what is out of favor; you can get paid to wait for sentiment to change. We discuss our favorite picks, offering yields of up to 12%.

As REIT earnings season kicks into gear this week, we preview results and major sector trends based on recent operating indicators, company commentary, and real estate market data. REITs enter earnings season with solid momentum, outperforming the market despite elevated Treasury yields and geopolitical volatility, as investors refocus on earnings growth, property fundamentals, dividends, M&A, and capital allocation. Encouraging green shoots have become more plentiful, including resilient hotel demand, robust senior housing growth, improving apartment and industrial fundamentals, and a rebound in retail leasing following a softer Q1.
