In the latest edition of Quick Study, Brad Case, NAREIT’s senior vice president for research and industry information, said that despite market weakness in October, economic fundamentals continue to support the sector.
The total returns of the FTSE/NAREIT All REIT Index dropped 4.9 percent in October, while the S&P 500 index lost 1.8 percent.
“It was a very poor month in October,” Case observed. “The last three months have been weak for investors in all segments of the equity markets,” he added.
