3 REITs to Buy That Are off the Beaten Path

In the days immediately following the Brexit vote, the U.K.’s June 23 decision to leave the EU caused some of the most volatile markets in recent memory. U.S. equities fell 3.7% the day after the historic decision and 2% the following Monday. The Friday loss was one of the worst one-day declines since 1999.

Meanwhile, U.S. Equity real estate investment trusts barely moved, down 1.1% on Friday, June 24, and flat on Monday, June 27. Total returns for REITs have seriously outperformed the broader markets since the February volatility — REITs are up 24.3% compared to 13.2% for Russell 3000 since Feb. 11 — while volatility has actually declined, highlighting the importance of owning different asset classes. Sometimes you can have your cake and eat it too. 3 REITs to Buy: American Campus Communities (ACC), Equity Lifestyle Properties (ELS) and Landmark Infrastructure Partners LP (LMRK).
