- Small-cap REITs trade at low P/FFO multiples and often pay out higher dividends, leading to the notion that they may be undervalued.
- There are justifiable reasons for the persistent low multiples of small-cap REITs, as they have high leverage, external management, and poor earnings growth.
- KBWY holds a basket of small-cap REITs, and has poorly allocated investor capital over the past year. Chasing yield has been a bad investment strategy.
- There are still some solid values in the small-cap REIT space, though a one-size-fits-all approach will likely produce low returns.
