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).
