Q & A Highlights

Q: The implied volume for acquisitions into the back half of the year suggests a deceleration. Is this due to conservatism or macro volatility? A: Mark Manheimer, CEO: There is some conservatism, but we also don’t want to target capital we haven’t raised yet. The acquisitions market is healthy, with attractive pricing across various sectors. Macro volatility hasn’t impacted cap rates yet, but sustained interest rate pressure could potentially affect them.
