It provides<span class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\"> exposure to high-quality U.S.-listed common and preferred equity securities of real estate investment trusts, or REITs, while ensuring sector diversification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">I\u2019m in New York City and Chicago this week meeting with fund managers and high net worth investors as I began to pitch the Index to create a listed version of the Index. Today, I met with three fund managers in which I was able to showcase the value proposition for the Index, which is essentially the blueprint for the Index.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible\">As I explained, our Index is rooted in the same Graham-ian stock picking criteria as Ben Graham described in The Intelligent Investor:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<p>You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you. You are right because the data and reasoning are right.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In other words, this REIT ETF Index is built on fundamental data that we obtain from financial statements and analyst estimates. In turn, the data is used to score constituents within the REIT coverage spectrum (the iREIT 100) and filter our the highest-quality REITs that are trading at the widest margin of safety. Back to Graham:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<p>\u201c\u2026the value investor\u2019s purpose is to capitalize upon a favorable difference between price on the one hand and indicated or appraised value on the other.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This intelligent REIT strategy is nothing new whatsoever, as this has been my stock picking blueprint for over 13 years on Seeking Alpha. By carefully selecting the highest quality dividend paying stocks I have been able to generate a sizeable portfolio that includes over 40 REITs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Unlike other REIT ETFs that own the good, the bad, and the ugly, our REIT ETF Index is designed to own just the Good and the Great and to not overpay for them. In addition, the Index is designed to maintain responsible diversification both geographically and by sector, without too many names (di-worsification).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Today I wanted to provide you with a list of several of the \u201cREIT Elite\u201d that are part of our so-called \u201ciREIT 100\u201d universe which is the pond that the ETF Index uses to select the most promising REITs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">What sets our research platform apart from many others is the fact that we spend considerable time and resources screening for the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me because we want everyone to be part of the sleep well at night dream.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\"><strong>Federal Realty Investment Trust (FRT)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Federal Realty Investment Trust was founded in 1962 and is one of the oldest real estate investment trusts still operating today. FRT is a shopping center REIT that owns and develops retail-based and mixed-use properties that are located in first-ring suburbs that have densely populated areas with high-barriers to entry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Their properties are primarily located in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, but their portfolio also includes properties located in California, Florida, and Illinois. FRT owns or has an ownership interest in 103 properties that include approximately 3,300 commercial tenants and around 3,000 residential units.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In total, their open air shopping centers and mixed-use properties cover roughly 26 million square feet and were 94.5% leased and 92.8% occupied as of year-end 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/330973-16831639569650404.png\" alt=\"Map Description automatically generated\" contenteditable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>FRT &#8211; Investor Presentation<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Federal Realty has the longest running dividend streak in the REIT industry as they have paid and increased their dividend for 55 consecutive years. I like the chart below because it puts the current economic environment in perspective.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Most REITs have suffered large declines over the past year in large part due to concerns over inflation and interest rates, but as seen below, FRT has operated through multiple crises and economic environments and has not suspended or cut its dividend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">A lot of focus has been put on the rate of inflation over the last year, but in 1980 inflation in the U.S. was almost 15% and FRT raised its dividend. Likewise, during the Great Financial Crisis and the covid pandemic FRT continued to raise its dividend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/330973-16831639571240873.png\" alt=\"A picture containing graphical user interface Description automatically generated\" contenteditable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>FRT &#8211; Investor Presentation<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Federal Realty pays a 4.42% dividend yield but its dividend payout ratio needs to be monitored as they currently have an adjusted funds from operations (\u201cAFFO\u201d) payout ratio of 91.86%. While the payout ratio is high, it has been improving over the last several years, going from 123.46% in 2020, to 97.48% in 2021, to its current level of 91.86%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Over the last 10 years FRT has an average dividend growth rate of 4.41% but dividend growth has moderated over the last 2 years with a 0.95% increase in 2021, and a 0.94% increase in 2022. The lower dividend growth rate over the last several years is likely by design to get their payout ratio to a more conservative level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">FRT has an average FFO growth rate of 3.96% since 2013 and are expected to increase FFO by 2%, 4%, and 6% in the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 respectively. The stock is trading at a P\/FFO of 15.34x, which is well below their normal P\/FFO of 22.96x. <strong>At iREIT, we rate Federal Realty Investment Trust a BUY.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture> <span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/330973-16831639573519459.png\" alt=\"Chart, histogram Description automatically generated\" contenteditable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span> <\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\"><span>FAST Graphs<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.<strong> (MAA)<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Mid-America Apartment is a REIT that specializes in multifamily properties that are predominantly located in the Sunbelt region of the country.
