The REIT Conundrum

REITs have evolved into a larger, more diversified, and better-capitalized asset class, now less sensitive to Treasury yields than in prior cycles. Modern REITs feature lower leverage (34.4% debt), predominantly fixed-rate, long-maturity debt, and strong liquidity, supporting resilience amid higher rates. Supply constraints and rising replacement costs create durable moats for select REIT sectors, especially those with HALO (Heavy Assets, Low Obsolescence) characteristics.
