Market Overview

October was another month of good performance for both Global REITs and their broad market indexes. The UBS Global
Investors Index of real estate stocks was up 3.8% while the MSCI World Equity Index of broad-market stocks gained 2.9% (all
returns stated in local currencies). Every public real estate market except Australia and Singapore gained in value, with Hong
Kong and the UK up 6% or more. Year-to-date, real estate stocks are up 18.4%, well ahead of the global broad-market index,
which is up 4.9%.
REITs are benefitting from two important trends today. They are seeing increased investor interest in current yields that are not
available from traditional fixed-income sources. In addition, favorable capital market conditions are helping REITs and other real
estate investors build healthier balance sheets that will let them take advantage of the investment opportunities that are now
arising.
The primary driver of underperformance was stock selection in the United States. The top contributors to performance on a
security level basis were underweight positions in HCP Inc (HCP US), Stockland (SGP AU) and Capitamall Trust (CT SP). The
top detractors from value were overweight positions Dexus Property Group (DXS AU), Corporate Office Properties (OFC US)
and Capitaland LTD (CAPL SP).
Investors appear to becoming more confident that a real estate recovery is beginning to build and is not likely to be derailed by
a double-dip global recession. The most recent global GDP estimates have improved slightly. There are regional differences, of
course, but the momentum for recovery seems to be there.
Capital continues to be readily available in markets throughout the world. The largest equity raise this month by far was the
Global Logistics Property IPO in Singapore. Another large offering was by U.S. industrial REIT ProLogis, which raised USD
1.33 billion. There were additional equity issues in most countries and regions with another nine public real estate companies
raising almost another USD 2.8 billion. In total, more than USD 6.6 billion of new equity was raised in October.
Both public and private real estate investors are looking to expand their portfolios again, with a significant increase in
transactions completed or underway. The spread between property capitalization rates and long-term government bond rates
remains close to 400 bps. Public real estate dividend yields are about 130 bps higher than long term government bond yields.
We believe both of these relationships are attractive to investors in both properties and real estate equity securities.
Third quarter operating results are beginning to come in. While it is too early to be definitive, most results appear to be close to
target, with a few negative and some positive surprises. We expect the companies in our investment universe will produce
strong earnings growth in 2011, and anticipate continued steady increases in subsequent years.
As REIT earnings begin to grow, their dividend payouts will increase. This will increase what is already a high current return
compared with other current-income alternatives. Since the companies are well capitalized, they are expected to look for
external growth opportunities through accretive acquisitions, adding to shareholder value.
