NETLease Corporate Real Estate ETF

NETL tracks an index that provides current income by investing in net lease US real estate equities weighted by a modified market-cap strategy.

The recent 75 basis point rise in the 10-year treasury yield has led to a significant selloff in net lease REITs. Despite strong earnings, REITs like O and ADC have seen stock price declines due to increased opportunity costs from higher treasury yields. This market shift presents a buying opportunity for investors, as many REITs now offer higher dividend yields and discounted prices.

Disinflationary trends persist, with CPI showing a steady decline, despite media drama over slightly higher-than-expected figures; energy stocks remain attractive for long-term investors.

Net lease REITs offer passive income with less cash flow volatility due to tenant responsibility for property expenses, making them attractive for long-term dividend growth. Capitalization rates, dividend yield, and AFFO yield are crucial metrics for evaluating net lease investments, with cap rates driven by property type, lease term, and tenant credit quality. EPRT and ADC lead the way in cost of equity, with EPRT focusing on high-yielding private equity-backed tenants and ADC on investment-grade national retailers.
