abrdn Global Premier Property (AWP) operates as a closed-end fund that aims to provide current income from its portfolio of real estate holdings. AWP trades at a slight premium to NAV. However, future interest rate cuts serve as a short term growth catalyst and may increase this premium. If all you want is real estate exposure without the income aspect, you would likely be better off with a traditional ETF like VNQ.

AWP has underperformed US REIT and US divided focused ETFs. The managed distribution policy is not funded by dividends from its holdings and forces management to trade for capital gains or return capital. This is a higher-risk investment than a traditional REIT ETF given leverage/debt and currency risk that has not paid to own.

REITweek, the annual REIT industry conference, was held last week in New York City. Humbled by two years of rate-driven headwinds, the venue halls were as quiet as any REITweek. Excitement was muted after numerous "false starts" on the long-awaited Fed pivot, a dearth of IPO and M&A activity, and a two-year period of significant underperformance versus the broader market. It can only get better: since the start of the Fed's rate hike cycle in March 2022, the REIT Index has underperformed the S&P 500 by a whopping 40 percentage-points.

In fact, there are a few other real-estate funds that could be better choices.

AWP invests across global real estate stocks through an actively managed and leveraged strategy. The fund has rebounded over the past year although its performance has lagged against alternative real estate funds in recent years. We see room for AWP to generate positive returns going forward, although indexed ETFs may be a better option to gain a similar exposure.

I've laid the foundation on my global real estate empire, and it's literally paying me dividends already. My portfolio is fine-tuned to produce a massive flow of cash into my coffers. Your retirement can be filled with ease and splendor if you do likewise.

I'm Building A Global Real Estate Empire, Earning +12% Yields

abrdn Global Premier Property has failed to deliver value for investors in its 16-year history, with a drop in price by 81% and total returns of only 5%. The fund's high dividend distribution yield of 12% has not kept up with inflation, and its distributions have often come from return of capital rather than taxable income. AWP's use of leverage, international holdings, and high expense ratio may be contributing factors to its underperformance, making it a less attractive option compared to other REIT funds.

Following the best week of the year, U.S. equity markets were mixed this week as interest rates rebounded from the prior week's plunge after Fed officials pushed back on market optimism. Posting gains in nine out of ten sessions since dipping into "correction territory" at the end of October, the S&P 500 gained 1.4% on the week, but Mid-Caps and Small-Caps posted declines. Following their best week since 2020, REITs took a step back this week as upward pressure on benchmark interest rates offset a solid conclusion to a strong earnings season.
