Closing at the highest levels since April 2022, the S&P 500 advanced 2.4% this week, while the other major equity benchmarks - the Mid-Cap 400 and Small-Cap 600 - gained 3%. Real estate equities- the sector with perhaps the most potential upside from a "soft landing" scenario- were among the leaders for a third straight week. The Equity REIT Index gained 2.9%.

I recommend several high-yield income-oriented investments, including business development companies (BDCs), real estate investment trusts (REITs), and a closed-end fund (CEF) that holds midstream assets or master limited partnerships (MLPs). Regulated investment companies (RICs) offer high-yield distributions due to tax laws that regulate them and require them to distribute at least 90% of net income to shareholders. I provide specific recommendations for BDCs, REITs, and CEFs, including Trinity Capital, FS KKR Capital, Cion Investment Corp., and others that yield 12% or more annually.

We take a look at the action in preferreds and baby bonds through the third week of June and highlight some of the key themes we are watching. Preferreds were roughly flat as higher Treasury yields were offset by tighter credit spreads. We take a look at a couple of pricing discrepancies in the B.

Rates Up, REITs Down? Whether fundamentally justified or not, commercial and residential real estate markets continue to bear the brunt of the Federal Reserve's historically swift monetary tightening cycle. Commercial real estate, in particular, has been the boogeyman that bank executives have blamed for unrelated distress. While there are pockets of distress, actual default rates remain historically low. The pockets of distress are almost entirely debt-driven, with the notable exception of coastal urban office properties. Nearly every property sector reported "same-store" property-level income above pre-pandemic levels.
