In the latest edition of Quick Study, Brad Case, NAREIT’s senior vice president for research and industry information, said that despite a difficult month for all investors in January, REIT investors fared relatively well.
The total returns of the FTSE/NAREIT All REIT Index fell 3.5 percent in January. In the broader market, however, large cap stocks lost 5.0 percent, small cap value stocks lost 6.7 percent, and small cap growth stocks lost nearly 11 percent, Case observed.
