Blackstone NAV REIT Performance Outshines Cash Flow Concerns
Despite indications that Blackstone’s nontraded real estate investment trust (NAV REIT) has struggled to deliver on redemptions, the diversified fund has shown “consistently better” total returns than its peers, proving its post-pandemic staying power, Blue Vault researchers say.

Sprow said this is due to several factors, including: Limited office sector exposure, a consistently positive risk-vs-return profile, and a 0.69% rise in NAV in Q2 2023 — the largest Q2 2023 rise in NAV among nontraded REITs…
