Blue Vault December “Sales Stack” All Alternative Investment Sales

January 16, 2018 | Blue Vault

 

NTR Sales at $4.3 Billion for 2017, Down from $4.5 Billion in 2016

Sales by nontraded REITs were down 4.6% in 2017 compared to 2016. December sales of $271.2 million reported to Blue Vault by nontraded REIT sponsors were down from $317.6 million in November. Quarterly nontraded REIT sales for Q4 2017 were $881 million compared to $1,024 million in Q4 2016, a drop of 14% year-over-year. There were 20 sponsors raising capital for nontraded REIT programs in 2017 compared to 22 sponsors with offerings during 2016.

Blackstone REIT’s reported sales in 2017 were $1.872 billion, fully 44% of all NTR sales for the year. The Blackstone REIT sales constituted 63% of reported nontraded REIT sales in December, up from the 54% share of nontraded REIT industry sales in November. Blackstone’s share of total nontraded REIT sales was 55% for Q4 2017.

Clearly, the entry by Blackstone into the nontraded REIT sector had a huge impact on sales. Blackstone’s continuous offering with multiple share classes and monthly NAV per share updates is sold through wirehouses, bringing a major distribution channel to the sector. In addition to Blackstone’s nontraded REIT program which broke escrow on January 1, 2017, other products have been introduced by Cantor Fitzgerald, Starwood, and Nuveen. As AR Global, W.P. Carey and several other nontraded REIT sponsors have exited, these new programs could resuscitate an industry that has seen sales drop to the lowest levels in 15 years.

Among leading sponsors with sales in the nontraded REIT sector in 2017 following Blackstone’s $1.87 billion were:
•   Carter Validus   $383.1 million
•   Griffin Capital  $370.8 million
•   Cole Capital    $273.1 million
•   Black Creek Group $245.8 million
•   W. P. Carey $243.4 million
•   SmartStop Asset Mgmt. $220.5 million
     

BDC sales reported in 2017 were $732.5 million, down 27% from $1.000 billion in 2016. Q4 2017 BDC sales were $160.8 million compared to $238.9 million in Q4 2016, down 33%. December 2017 BDC sales were $39.6 million compared to December 2016 BDC sales of $70.1 million. Just seven nontraded BDC sponsors were raising capital in December 2017, down from eight in December 2016.

Leading sponsors in the BDC sector for 2017 sales were FS Investments with $339.8 million, Owl Rock Capital Advisors at $90.8 million and W.P Carey with $70.7 million. Other BDC sponsors with sales in 2017 include CNL Financial Group at $62.6 million, CION Investments at $57.9 million, and Hines Securities with $44.7 million.
