In both cases we didn&#8217;t find something worth buying now. We continue our search and today we look at two actively managed REIT ETFs: the Invesco Active U.S. Real Estate ETF (<\/span><span class=\"ticker-hover-wrapper paywall-full-content invisible\">NYSEARCA:PSR<\/span><span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">) and the iShares Cohen &amp; Steers REIT ETF (<\/span><span class=\"ticker-hover-wrapper paywall-full-content invisible\">BATS:ICF<\/span><span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">). The first is a real active ETF while the latter is deviating from the average REIT market by focusing on the largest and most liquid REITs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">Past performance<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">In the current inflationary environment commodities (including gold) and the ProShares Inflation Expectations ETF (RINF) are the best performing asset classes.

If we look more in detail to different past inflationary periods, we see that listed US real estate does on average indeed performs well when inflation is high. But this isn&#8217;t always the case. E.g. in 2009 REITs strongly underperformed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/57136295-1688406034815622.png\" alt=\"Figure 3: Real Estate and inflation\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 3: Real Estate and inflation (Cohen &amp; Steers)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Economic growth is of course a key element. Real estate returns are often closely tied to economic growth. And periods of higher inflation are typically marked by higher economic growth, which in turn can drive increased demand for commercial real estate that enables landlords to push through rent increases. And currently the Fed is slowing down the economy with its rate hike campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">When we look at the past performance of PSR and ICF (in the period between Jan 2009 and Jun 2023) the performance is in line with each other and with the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ). PSR is however a bit more defensive with a lower volatility, a lower beta and a lower maximum drawdown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/57136295-16884060363440928.png\" alt=\"Figure 4: Risk and return metrics\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 4: Risk and return metrics (Portfolio Visualizer)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">PSR uses quantitative and statistical metrics to identify attractively priced securities and to manage risk. PSR may take a temporary defensive position and hold all or a portion of its assets in cash if there are inadequate investment opportunities available due to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. Doing so could help PSR avoid losses in the event of falling market prices and provide liquidity to make additional investments, but may also mean lost investment opportunities in a period of rising market prices. History shows that it certainly helped in achieving slightly better risk-adjusted returns compared to ICF and VNQ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">ICF is benchmarked to the Cohen &amp; Steers Realty Majors Index. Other REIT indices like the FTSE Nareit All Equity REIT Index includes the entire universe of REITs and, therefore, contains also many illiquid REITs. The same goes for the MSCI and Dow Jones REIT indices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/57136295-1688406024967089.png\" alt=\"Figure 5: REIT indexes\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 5: REIT indexes (Cohen &amp; Steers)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The Cohen &amp; Steers Realty Majors Index wants to provide &#8220;a liquid, diverse representation of companies leading the real estate industry&#8221;.

Brad Thomas stresses the importance of REITs trading above NAV in the outlook for growth. When REITs trade above NAV there is a green light on growth and when REITs trade below NAV there is a red light on growth. Trading above NAV allows a REIT to issue new stocks to fund growth. If a REIT trades below NAV it&#8217;s advisable to shrink the portfolio and\/or buyback shares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Currently, REITs trade on average with a discount of 23% to NAV. This puts a break on the growth outlook for REITs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/57136295-16884060271745777.png\" alt=\"Figure 9: REIT Premium\/ discount to NAV\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 9: REIT Premium\/ discount to NAV (S&amp;P Global)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Cohen &amp; Steers recently called the REIT fundamentals &#8220;resilient, but decelerating&#8221;. They lowered their growth expectations amid the slowing economic backdrop. They expect a lower than historical average for both this and next year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/57136295-16884060283032908.png\" alt=\"Figure 10: REIT growth estimates\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 10: REIT growth estimates (Cohen &amp; Steers)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Both ICF and PSR trade at a smaller discount to NAV compared to the REIT average of 23%: PSR trades at a discount of 13% to NAV and ICF is at 11%. We will be buying REITs again when they trade at a premium to NAV.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Dividends<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Research by S&amp;P Global shows that REITs with a bad balance sheet trade at a bigger discount to NAV compared to REITs with a better balance sheet. The discount to NAV indicates that both the growth outlook and the balance sheet strength of PSR and ICF is better than the average REIT market. The risk of a dividend cut is hence below average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The balance sheet figures confirm this. PSR and ICF have a debt\/EBITDA ratio in line with the REIT average of 7.5. The debt ratios of PSR (31%) and ICF (28.5%) are better than the REIT average of 46%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">So the dividend safety of both PSR and ICF is ok, but what about the dividend yield. Is their yield attractive compared to treasury yields? The answer is no.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The dividend yield of both PSR and ICF is below 3%. In comparison, the dividend yield of VNQ is 4.5% and we consider this yield too low compared to treasury yields ta call VNQ a buy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/57136295-16884060289031231.png\" alt=\"Figure 11: Dividend yield\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 11: Dividend yield (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Trend<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Both PSR and ICF are trading at a discount to NAV, while we will be buying REITs again when they trade at a premium to NAV. We are also buyers when the dividend yield is attractive compared to treasury yields, which isn&#8217;t the case for PSR and ICF.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The third point we look at to determine if a REIT ETF is worth investing in is the long term trend. Also here the conclusion is also negative: while PSR and ICF are no longer in a long term down trend, they still aren&#8217;t in a long term uptrend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure paywall-full-content invisible\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/57136295-16884060303614385.png\" alt=\"Figure 12: Trends\" contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Figure 12: Trends (Author)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">When the LT trend is clearly up, we get a green light\/colour.

We left out the orange colouring to avoid overloading the chart. It&#8217;s only recently the long term trend turned from down to neutral.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Both PSR and ICF are quality REIT ETFs. They have higher growth prospects and their balance sheets are in better shape than the average REIT. But this quality comes at a price: a low(er) dividend yield.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">As they are still trading at a discount to NAV and not in a long term uptrend, we&#8217;re not buyers of these ETFs for the moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4615085-psr-and-icf-active-reit-etfs-are-also-not-convincing?source=feed_all_articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REITs are normally a good inflation hedge.
