These companies are expected to generate 15%+ annual earnings growth as commercial real estate sales and leasing activity rebounds. Multi-year setup for data centers is as strong as ever with expanding demand from cloud computing, IT outsourcing, and AI workloads from Magnificent 7 companies. New supply is constrained due to elevated construction costs and power constraints while rents are rising. Fund owns Equinix, Digital Realty Trust, GDS Holdings, and Goodman as multi-year beneficiaries. Travel companies benefit from favorable shift in consumer preferences away from goods spending to prioritizing travel experiences. Fund owns best-in-class hotel companies Hilton and Hyatt which should continue benefiting from these secular trends including flexible work arrangements allowing more travel and cyclically depressed business activity creating opportunities. Despite near-term housing market challenges from affordability issues and buyer/seller strikes, there is structural underinvestment in housing relative to demographic needs. US builds same number of homes today as 1960 despite 160 million more people. Fund sees long-term bullish opportunity in companies like Toll Brothers and Champion Homes as housing market rebounds. Industrial real estate benefits from multi-year demand drivers including e-commerce growth, last mile infrastructure needs, onshoring trends, and shift from just-in-time to just-in-case inventory management. AI's physical manifestation through robotics and automation will require more industrial facilities. Fund owns Prologis, EastGroup Properties, and Terreno Realty. | IRM VTR WELL FBIN SKY CSGP H PLD JLL |
