| 2025 Q3 | Oct 22, 2025 | Easterly – Global Real Estate Fund | -2.9% | 8.1% | AMT, COLD, GMG AU, GRI LN, NXT AU, VTR | Data centers, Global REITs, interest rates, Property Fundamentals, supply constraints | The letter reviews a challenging quarter for global REITs despite improving fundamentals, as rate-sensitive assets lagged even while central banks signaled easing. Easterly highlights that stabilized interest rates, historically low new construction, and rising replacement costs are shifting pricing power back to landlords across select property types. The portfolio remains focused on specialty real estate segments such as data centers, cell towers, healthcare, and student housing, where supply-demand imbalances support long-term earnings growth. | View | |
| Q4 2025 | Jan 23, 2026 | Baron Real Estate Fund | -1.4% | 4.9% | AMH, AMT, BX, CSGP, DHI, FBIN, GDS, GMG.AX, H, HLT, IRM, JLL, PLD, RKT, SKY, TMHC, TREX, VNO, VTR, WELL | Commercial, Data centers, Housing, Industrial, real estate, REITs, Travel | Fund invests in leading commercial real estate services companies CBRE, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield that benefit from outsourcing trends, institutionalization of commercial real estate, and market share opportunities in a fragmented industry. 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 |
