January 10, 2022 | David Bodamer | WealthManagement.com
Publicly-traded REITs rode a strong December to wrap up 2021 with total returns for the year up more than 40 percent. And while some of those gains stem from a recovery from the depths of pandemic, REIT total returns are also up relative to where they were pre-pandemic.
Overall, the FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs index was up 41.3 percent for 2021—the best single-year gain since 1976.
WMRE sat down with Nareit Executive Vice President and Economist John Worth to discuss December and full-year returns.
