Portfolio Manager Favors Single-Family Rental, Manufactured Home REITs

Arthur Hurley, senior equity portfolio manager at Columbia Threadneedle Investments, joined Nareit for a video interview at REITworld 2017.

Hurley commented on the creation of a headline Real Estate Sector under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) for REITs and other listed real estate companies. He noted that the move has generated a lot more attention for the group from a broader investor base. REIT CEOs, CFOs and investor relations professionals should keep that broader audience in mind as they craft their messages, Hurley said.
