Realty Income's capital recycling strategy is accelerating, focusing on selling assets with lower long-term strategic value to fund higher-conviction investments in industrial and data centers.
“And this capital recycling that we would like to continue to lean into is largely on a pro forma basis going to help make each one of these variables that I just mentioned accretive.”
In the UK, institutional capital is aggressively driving down cap rates on retail parks and shopping centers, even as base rates remain elevated, creating a counterintuitive, highly competitive market for these assets.
“In the UK, almost perversely, we're actually seeing institutional capital coming in in good size and driving down cap rates. And then while we haven't bought retail parks or multi-tenant retail across the continent, there is also now one o…”
Apollo is a key programmatic joint venture partner, providing a permanent source of private capital for Realty Income to expand its investment platform and generate recurring management fees.
“It's a similar situation with Apollo. So we are shying away from partnerships, et cetera, which is one time in nature or closed-ended in nature, primarily because we want this fee stream to be permanent and growing.”
Got it. And then you mentioned that public equity funding was down to 18% of your investment volume this year. Is there any kind of long-term target there since the private capital is obviously more one-time in nature?
Yeah, and Jason, just to be very clear, you mentioned that it's one time in nature. It's the exact opposite of what we've created. I mean, the open-ended fund, by definition, will be a vehicle that will continue to raise capital out into the future. That's the reason why we constructed it as an open-ended vehicle rather than a closed-end fund. The JV that we have at GIC is meant to be a programmatic JV. Once we've utilized the initial capital commitment, the hope is that they will continue to deploy more and more capital with us. It's a similar situation with Apollo. So we are shying away from partnerships, et cetera, which is one time in nature or closed-ended in nature, primarily because we want this fee stream to be permanent and growing. into the future. So I just wanted to make that one correction, Jason.
In the UK, institutional capital is aggressively driving down cap rates on retail parks and shopping centers, even as base rates remain elevated, creating a counterintuitive, highly competitive market for these assets. — Despite a higher cost of debt, the UK retail asset market is seeing yield compression from non-traditional capital (private equity, institutions), indicating a capital rotation into a previously out-of-favor asset class.
“In the UK, almost perversely, we're actually seeing institutional capital coming in in good size and driving down cap rates. And then while we haven't bought retail parks or multi-tenant retail across the continent, there is also now one”
Okay, got it. Thank you for that. And then you talked a bit about the positive European outlook in the prepared comments. I wanted to specifically zoom in on the UK. Cost of debt seems pretty unattractive over there, especially compared to Euro debt So are you seeing upward pressure on cap rates in the UK to reflect that, or is it just a less appealing market right now?

Neil? Thanks, Sumit. Brad, in response to that question, I think we have countervailing effects. One, of course, is the sort of macro malaise change in the PM and the move-in rates. Against that, what you have is institutional capital coming in, and you can see this more broadly across Europe as well. and it started really with malls or shopping centers as they're called over there. And there's quite an aggressive bid for those kinds of assets. So in the UK, almost perversely, we're actually seeing institutional capital coming in in good size and driving down cap rates. And then while we haven't bought retail parks or multi-tenant retail across the continent, there is also now one or two larger private equity players driving consolidation I think the industrial logic is that they sort of missed that play in the UK but there's still an opportunity across Europe and the low level of base rates makes it actually quite accretive on a levered basis and so I don't think we're seeing upward pressure on cap rates in the UK or frankly much of Europe with the exception of Germany and I think you know if anything The pressure on cap rates downward on retail parks in the UK will continue.
Realty Income's capital recycling strategy is accelerating, focusing on selling assets with lower long-term strategic value to fund higher-conviction investments in industrial and data centers. — Systematic selling of underperforming retail/office assets to fund growth in higher-growth sectors signals a potential portfolio shift that could influence valuations across different REIT sub-sectors.
Hey guys, thanks for taking the question. Sumit, maybe starting with you, I guess I was intrigued by some of the comments you were making about capitalizing on the market to do some portfolio recycling, improving the quality of your on-balance sheet assets. I'm curious how much of the portfolio ballpark might be subject to being upgraded, recycled. Sounds like you're doing a bit more upgrade here. Is that something we should expect near term and maybe some color perspective on the difference in cap rates or bumps in what you're buying versus selling? Thanks.
That's a great question, Handel. I think in the prepared remarks, you picked up on our desire to continue to recycle capital. Obviously, we have talked about there are certain metrics that we are very focused on, internal growth being one of them, duration of the lease term being another, being exposed to credit that we have a long-term view on and we feel comfortable with. another metric that we are going to be very focused on. And this capital recycling that we would like to continue to lean into is largely on a pro forma basis going to help make each one of these variables that I just mentioned accretive. And so that's the desire. And it could be, you know, obviously leaning into the data center side, leaning into the industrial side and repositioning Our overall portfolio to make sure that our net lease metrics that we focus on, KPIs that we are very focused on, continues to move in the right direction through this capital recycling.
