Commentary by Michael Stubben, President of MTS Research Advisors: The above table highlights the equity raise, dividend yield and FFO payout ratio for the top 20 open nonlisted REITs in the first quarter. The top 20 nonlisted REITs raised nearly $2.4 billion in the third quarter of 2011, which represented over 90% of all nonlisted REIT fundraising. Fundraising in 1Q 2012 jumped 30% from 4Q 2011, largely due to the massive fundraising close of Cole Credit Property Trust III. The top fundraising nonlisted REITs include two debt REITs (NorthStar and United Development IV) and two opportunity REITs (KBS Strat Opp and Resource Real Estate). Two important metrics — implied cap rate and FFO payout ratio — are highlighted above. The implied cap rate highlights the average gross yield on these nontraded REITs’ commercial real estate investments, and the FFO payout ratio highlights the dividend as a percent of FFO. Nonlisted REITs should have a FFO payout ratio below 100%, as they effectively deploy their equity capital and build up their portfolios.
