“Single-Family Rental REITs (1.2%) • We have been cautious on single-family rental REITs given a confluence of headwinds: persistent rate and financing sensitivity, localized oversupply in several Sun Belt build-to- rent markets, and cost inflation (insurance, taxes, maintenance) that has compressed margins even where top-line rent growth held up. • We remain long-term bullish because of the chronic housing undersupply, a widening affordability gap between renting and owning, a desire for flexibility and not to be burdened by mortgages, and durable demographic demand for single- family living continue to support the sector's fundamentals, and current valuations—which trade at a discount to estimated NAV. • The Fund maintains a position in American Homes 4 Rent.”
