●April data highlights a divergence in the NTR space, driven by an acceleration Andyaliu@wolferesearch.comLiu

in BREIT’s capital raising while SREIT outflows weakened.

○BREIT’s recovery went into overdrive, with net inflows nearly doubling

sequentially to $208M, confirming that strong investor demand has

returned.

○Conversely, SREIT’s net outflows accelerated to $39M, while AREIT’s

inflows cooled significantly to $11M (down from a near record $193M in

March).

●Flows versus rates. Constructive fund flows might seem surprising long term

rates had already begun to increase in March. A potential reason could be

investors compare nontraded investments to cash yields, which are well off

their peaks.
