Capital raising by U.S. Equity REITs for most of 2014 has trailed the record levels seen a year earlier, a sign that management teams are taking a disciplined approach to raising new equity, according to observers.
SNL Financial reported this week that capital raised by U.S. Equity REITs dipped to $ 51 billion for the year through Oct. 17, trailing the record-setting $ 56 billion raised during the same period in 2013.
