(to the tune of “Let it Snow”)
Oh, the markets worldwide are frightful
But your messaging’s so delightful
Since the company outlook can grow,
Let them know! Let them know! Let them know!
Your strategy isn’t popping
Though commodities are dropping
Although growth, it has been slow,
Let them know! Let them know! Let them know!

A good friend and colleague of mine used to describe the universe of real estate investment trusts – REITs – as an “us girls” industry. It was difficult to break in, but once you did, the REIT community was so small, and so interconnected, that working within the industry could be done rather smoothly.
The publicly traded REIT community is indeed tightly knit. And the number of institutions investing in REITs isn’t much larger. When management teams go on roadshows or attend conferences, it’s not uncommon for them to meet the same individuals from the same funds four, five or six times in a year. I compare it to one of those small towns you see in Western films, with the two main characters squaring off to see who will ultimately control the town: “This investor pool isn’t big enough for the two of us.”
