USRT - USRT: REIT Fans Claim 3 Reasons To Buy - I'm Not Convinced
iShares Core U.S. REIT
2024-05-15 09:05:21 ET
Summary
iShares Core U.S. REIT ETF warrants a hold rating due to lack of convincing reasons to buy.
REITs have underperformed the market and face challenges in the post-COVID environment, including work-from-home policies and an increase in online retail.
While the U.S. Federal Reserve may not increase interest rates, a significant reduction back to pre-pandemic levels is unlikely.
Direct physical real estate ownership has also resulted in better returns than REIT investments over the past five years, with reasons to believe this trend will continue.
