"The Easterly Global Real Estate Fund returned -10.78% in Q4 2024, underperforming its benchmark due to adverse sector allocations. Despite short-term macro headwinds and structural challenges in the office sector, the fund remains constructive on global real estate fundamentals and maintains its focus on high-quality bottom-up stock selection."
In Q4 2024, the Easterly Global Real Estate Fund (Class I: JARIX) returned -10.78%, underperforming the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index's return of -9.45% by 133 basis points. This underperformance was driven by adverse sector allocation, such as an underweight in Self-Storage and unfavorable allocations in Data Centers and Cold Storage, although cash holdings provided downside protection. Security selection was highly positive, highlighted by Digital Realty Trust (which benefited from AI demand) and Retail Opportunity Investments (boosted by a Blackstone acquisition agreement). Conversely, European holdings Catena and Tritax Big Box REIT detracted due to interest rate spikes. The manager holds an increasingly constructive outlook on global real estate fundamentals, citing strong earnings growth and low supply, and operates a benchmark-agnostic, high-conviction portfolio of 50 high-quality companies while avoiding structurally weak areas like offices and regional malls.
