Data Center Reits
bullish
Bloomberg ETF IQ · video
Data center REITs are in the early innings of a secular buildout, with established platforms holding global megawatt-scale footprints and working with municipalities on permitting, while also pulling through demand for industrial REIT space
“I still think we're in the early innings when it comes to the world of data centers”

RIET
bullish
Bloomberg ETF IQ · video
REITs have adapted to the high-rate environment with rising operating fundamentals, growing dividends, and surging M&A as private equity acquires public REITs at discounts to NAV, making the yield-focused income approach compelling regardless of Fed timing
“REITs have been operating in a high for long environment for so long that it's business as usual”

SMALL AND MID-CAP REITS, PREFERRED REITS, MORTGAGE REITS
bullish
Bloomberg ETF IQ · video
The real yield opportunity in REITs sits in small/mid-caps, preferreds, and mortgage REITs rather than the large-cap names dominating VNQ, because those top-10 VNQ holdings like DLR, AMT, Welltower, and Prologis offer little dividend income
“that's frankly where the real opportunity set was in the small caps or the mid-cap space”

RIET
bullish
Bloomberg ETF IQ · video
High-dividend small- and mid-cap REITs offer ~10% yield at a time when operating fundamentals, dividends, and M&A activity are all rising, and private equity is buying public REITs at discounts to net asset value.
“management teams are not going to wait for the Fed. They're going to find ways to unlock value”

SMALL- AND MID-CAP REITS
bullish
Bloomberg ETF IQ · video
The real yield opportunity in the REIT sector sits in small- and mid-cap names, not the mega-cap REITs (DLR, AMT, WEL, PLD) that dominate VNQ and offer little dividend income.
“there is no yield in those top 10”
