8 U.S. REITs Announce Dividend Increases In March
Since 2000, annual returns of international equities have been better than those of the U.S. only nine times. As concerns grow about the impact of tariffs on the economy and uncertainty looms, market participants appear to be reducing their weight in the U.S. Amid geopolitical tensions and evolving trade policies, international equities from developed markets in 2025 have outperformed the U.S. YTD, as some market participants are turning their focus to other geographies.

Markets Gone Wild
US equity markets fluctuated wildly in a tumultuous week - ultimately ending with the best weekly gains since November 2023 - after the White House announced a delay on the most "reciprocal" tariffs. Following several days of extreme volatility in which tremors of instability were felt across global markets, investors exhaled as the Administration's tariff messaging pivoted from "retribution" and "score-settling" to dealmaking. Government bond markets were in focus throughout the week as the 10-Year Treasury experienced significant and still-unexplained weakness, failing to act as typical "safe havens" during the market plunge.

Are REITs The New Safe Haven?
REITs have remained resilient during the market crash due to their reasonable valuations and fundamental advantages, including isolation from tariffs and inflation hedging. The broader market crash is attributed to weak consumer sentiment, high inflation, tariff uncertainty, and tepid employment numbers, compounded by extreme valuations. REITs offer steady, predictable growth through long-term rental contracts and are trading at attractive valuations, especially among small and mid-cap REITs.

IYR: A Mix Of Strong REITs, But At A Price
IYR has strong top REIT holdings, including Prologis, American Tower Corporation, and Welltower that make up about 20% of the fund's weight. While these top REIT holdings have high occupancies and solid fundamental characteristics, they also have high share prices, leading to a high valuation overall for IYR. Compared to top peer REIT funds, IYR has the highest expense ratio and lowest dividend yield.

Certainly Uncertain
US equity markets posted modest gains this week - snapping a four-week losing streak - as investors parsed commentary and updated forecasts from the Federal Reserve's policy meeting. Ahead of the looming April 2nd unveiling of reciprocal tariffs, investors were relieved by FOMC projections showing that 11-of-19 policy markets still expect at least two rate cuts this year. Disappointing retail sales data indicated that economic uncertainty is beginning to affect real-world consumer behavior. Housing market data was relatively solid, however, sparking an upward revision to the GDPNow forecast.

REIT Slope Adjustment Has Overshadowed Future Value Gains
Despite recent price declines, REITs' future value has increased due to higher rental rates, increased property values, and reduced competing supply. Higher market demanded returns have steepened the slope, causing REIT prices to drop despite improved fundamentals and future value. The price drop is driven by higher expected returns, not impaired future value, making current REIT valuations a buying opportunity.
