1 WHY RISING INTEREST RATES ARE ACTUALLY GOOD FOR GLOBAL REAL ESTATE STOCKS AUGUST 2015 Prepared by: W. Stevens Carroll, CPA Senior Global Portfolio Manager Jonathan Miniman, CFA Portfolio Manager According to conventional wisdom, the specter of rising interest rates foreshadows poor share price performance for global real estate stocks (REITs). But our research shows that s not the case for the investor. Admittedly, rising rates can temporarily generate headwinds for yield-sensitive asset classes such as REITs. However, we ve found that over time REIT shares typically benefit from the underlying forces that cause rates to move higher namely, positive economic growth.

2 RISING RATES = REIT STOCKS GAINS Our analysis of the 12-month performance of REIT shares, when yields of 10-year sovereign bonds from the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Japan moved either up or down, has led us to these three conclusions: Increases in bond yields are generally associated with improving economic conditions, which tend to boost tenant demand, revenue, and profits for owners and operators of commercial properties. REIT shares have generated positive total returns during periods of rising interest rates over the past 20 years. For instance, in the 12-month periods when yields of sovereign bonds have climbed by 25 to 50 basis points, REIT shares have recorded these gains on average: 24% in the U.S., 25% in the U.K., 33% in Hong Kong, and 32% in Japan (see Exhibit 1). In contrast, when sovereign-bond yields have declined, REITs results have been mixed, and have trailed results achieved during times of rising yields. For example, in the 12-month periods when yields of sovereign bonds have dropped by more than 75 basis points, REIT shares have risen only an average of 6% in the U.S., have lost an average of 3% in the U.K., have fallen an average of 4% in Hong Kong, and have sunk 11% on average in Japan.

3 REIT STOCKS HAVE PRODUCED DOUBLE-DIGIT TOTAL RETURNS WHEN INTEREST RATES ARE ON THE RISE In our judgment, what this means is that REIT shares should not be confused with bonds, whose prices fall when rates rise; the performance patterns of bonds and REIT stocks are markedly different. REIT shares historically have gained when bond prices have fallen and rates have climbed (and, significantly, when economic conditions have strengthened). In fact, REITs total returns have been greatest over 12-month time periods in rising-rate environments.

4 ECONOMIC GROWTH TRUMPS RISING RATES Our observation in reviewing performance numbers is that economic growth tends to trump rising rates in relation to the performance of REIT shares. And REITs that are most economically sensitive tend to perform especially well in this environment. We have reviewed the performance of real estate securities during time periods when GDP is growing versus when GDP is contracting. Our research indicates that during rolling 12-month periods of economic growth from June 1995 to June 2015, REIT stocks in four major global markets have produced positive total returns a majority of the time when the economy is growing. In the U.S., property stocks had positive total returns 86% of the time GDP was positive. Japan property stocks had positive total returns 7 of the time GDP was positive. United Kingdom property stocks had positive total returns of 77% of the time GDP was positive. Hong Kong property stocks had positive total returns 72% of the time GDP was positive. (See Exhibit 2). Why Rising Rates are Actually Good for Real Estate Stocks Page 4

5 GLOBALLY, REITS HAVE PRODUCED POSITIVE TOTAL RETURNS A MAJORITY OF THE TIME WHEN THE ECONOMY IS GROWING GDP performance patterns demonstrate the following fundamental catalysts for REITs: When the economy and business confidence are rebounding, tenant demand rebounds as well. Increased tenant demand enables landlords to enhance their pricing power by raising rents. Increased pricing power produces increased operating profits for REITs. Increased operating profits permit REITs to increase their dividends, and the stock market in turn generally rewards REITs with higher share prices. In short, REIT investors have benefited from both increased income and capital gains when REITs fundamentals and the economy were picking up.

6 CONCLUSION In sum, the stock market has been acutely aware that the impact of rising revenue and operating profits in times of economic expansion are more important to REITs value (and stock prices) than the impact of higher rates. Although REIT stocks can be volatile in the short term when interest-rate risk first becomes more prevalent, they tend to shine in the longer term as the economy grows, despite the higher rates.

7 GLOSSARY FTSE NAREIT Equity Index is an unmanaged market cap weighted index comprised of equity REITs. The NAREIT Equity index is available daily. The NAREIT Equity index includes healthcare and net lease REITs, but excludes real estate operating companies. The requirement for inclusion in this index is for a company to be an exchange listed equity REIT. There is no minimum size or liquidity requirement for an equity REIT to be included in this index. MSCI U.S. REIT Index (RMS): RMS is comprised of U.S. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) of reasonable size and liquidity weighted by market capitalization and considered representative of U.S. equity REIT performance. FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Property Index is an unmanaged market-weighted index consisting of real estate companies from developed markets, where greater than 75% of their EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) is derived from relevant real estate activities. The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT U.K. Index is a subset of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index and is designed to track the performance of real estate companies and REITS listed on the London Stock Exchange. By making the index constituents free-float adjusted, liquidity, size and revenue screened, the series is suitable for use as the basis for investment products, such as derivatives and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Hong Kong Index is designed to track the performance of listed real estate companies and REITS in both developed and emerging markets. By making the index constituents free-float adjusted, liquidity, size and revenue screened, the series is suitable for use as the basis for investment products, such as derivatives and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
