"Easterly Global Real Estate Fund remains constructive heading into 2026 despite Q4 underperformance, driven by stabilizing interest rates and historically low construction starts that give landlords of existing high-quality assets strong pricing power."
Executive Summary
In Q4 2025, the Easterly Global Real Estate Fund (JARIX) returned -2.11%, underperforming the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Net Index, which returned -0.73%. Despite short-term macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility, the fund maintains a constructive outlook for 2026. Tailwinds include stabilizing 10-year Treasury yields (4–4.5%) and historical lows in new construction supply due to persistent material, labor, and tariff headwinds, which provide strong incremental pricing power to existing landlords. The fund prioritizes high-quality specialty property types like data centers, health care, and industrial/logistics, while maintaining a cautious and underweight posture toward challenged sectors like office, self-storage, and lodging.
