Industry Veteran Says REITs Remain Low-Volatility Investments

Glenn Mueller, University of Denver professor and real estate investment strategist at Dividend Capital Group, joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWeek 2014: NAREIT’s Investor Forum, held in New York.

Mueller was asked whether he still considers REITs to be low-volatility investments.

“They are much less volatile than the overall marketplace,” Mueller said.

He explained that REITs have historically been low-volatility investments. That changed temporarily during the financial crisis as a result of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), according to Mueller.
