Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund Inc

Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund, Inc. operates as closed-end investment fund or investment trust company. Its objective is to seek capital appreciation and current income. The company was founded on August 28, 2003 and is headquartered in New York, NY.

Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund Inc aims to provide high income from real estate securities, with a yield of 10.73%. The NRO closed-end fund's performance has been mixed, outperforming the real estate sector for the past year but underperforming over the past five years. Real estate securities prices should go up quickly when interest rates start declining, so this fund will have a tailwind at that time.

U.S. equity markets climbed to record highs, while benchmark interest rates dipped to four-month lows as investors rotated from high-flying growth stocks into beaten-down value names following a cooler-than-expected CPI report. Headline CPI declined 0.1% month-over-month, which dragged the annual increase to below 3% for the first time since March 2021, while CPI ex-Shelter is again below the Fed's 2% target. Combined with recent softness in employment data and relatively dovish Fed commentary, markets now see at least two Fed rate cuts this year, with September now viewed as a near-lock.

U.S. equity markets posted mixed performance as investors parsed a perplexing slate of employment data, showing clear signs of cooling across essentially all metrics except for the "headline" payrolls print. The BLS reported that the U.S. economy added a robust 272k jobs in May, but prior months were revised substantially lower while the twin Household Survey showed a half-million job losses. The conflicting - and perhaps erroneous - employment data delayed the expected timeline for the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting cycle, while also raising the prospects of a data-driven policy error.

U.S. equity and bond markets staged a late-week rebound, erasing early-week declines prompted by disappointing Eurozone inflation data, after the crucial PCE inflation gauge posted its smallest increase of 2024. Posting a second week of modest declines following four-straight weekly gains, the S&P 500 finished lower by 0.4% on the week, but still notched its best month since February. Real estate equities also rebounded following steep declines in the prior week as a handful of REITs provided positive business updates ahead of the annual REITweek industry conference.

U.S. equity markets snapped a four-week winning streak while benchmark interest rates rebounded as hopes for imminent major central bank monetary easing were curtailed by stubbornly hot U.K. inflation data. Still hovering around all-time highs, the S&P 500 finished fractionally lower, but tech stocks were led higher by chip giant Nvidia on the heels of an impressive "AI-enhanced" earnings report. Halting a four-week rebound and continuing to be swung around by rate movements, real estate equities fell sharply this week as benchmark rates rebounded from one-month lows.

Rally Gets Reality Check

REIT FFO/share growth in 2023 was stalled due to increased insurance premiums and property taxes. Property taxes jumped from $170B to almost $200B in 2023, while insurance costs doubled as a percentage of revenue. Higher insurance premiums reduced FFO margins by nearly 100 basis points, impacting FFO/share growth.

U.S. equity markets climbed to fresh record highs, while benchmark interest rates dipped to one-month lows after a critical slate of inflation and retail sales data showed an unexpected cooldown. Reflecting the mounting quantity of downside economic surprises, the Citi Economic Surprise Index dipped to the lowest level since early 2023, indicating a rather abrupt reversal in economic momentum. Mildly encouraging inflation news and sluggish retail sales data lifted bets that the Fed can cut rates multiple times this year. Climbing to fresh record highs, the S&P 500 gained 1.6%.

Surprise Spring Slowdown

Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund has seen some impressive total returns over the last year since our prior coverage. NRO provides investors with exposure to both real estate equity positions and preferred holdings. Today, the fund's valuation has narrowed quite substantially and I believe there are some more attractive peers to consider at this time.

REITs experienced a 26% drop in prices due to rising interest rates, creating opportunities for investors. Despite the overall decline, many REIT sectors, such as industrial, multifamily, and manufactured housing, showed strong FFO/share growth. The market pricing of REITs did not align with their fundamental performance, creating mispricing in sectors like retail, towers, and self-storage.

U.S. equity markets declined this week while benchmark interest rates jumped to the highest level since November after stronger-than-expected employment data showed robust hiring trends in early 2024. Stagflation has crept back into the economic discussion over the past several weeks amid a resurgence in oil prices alongside economic data showing stubbornly lukewarm inflationary trends. Following two straight weeks of gains which had lifted the benchmark to record-highs, the S&P 500 declined by 0.9% this week. Real estate equities were among the laggards this week.

Two years of persistent rate-driven pressure on commercial and residential real estate markets appeared to be easing in early 2024, but firming inflation has again muddied the outlook. Expectations of "Higher for Longer" have merely shifted to "High for Long." Many private equity funds and some highly-levered REITs were ill-prepared for a period of sustained 4-5%+ benchmark rates. Private markets are finally feeling the pain that beset public REIT investors since 2021. Commercial property values have now declined over 20% nationally, and nearly 40% in some troubled segments.

How REITs have fared through high interest rate environment. Takeaways from REITs earnings season so far. When rate cuts do come, some REIT sectors may stand to benefit.

Why Lower Rates Could Lead To Opportunities In REITs This Year

The yield on 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities TIPS fell significantly from ~2.5% to ~1.7% in the last two months of 2023. How does this affect real estate? As long-lived, fixed assets with inflation-protective characteristics, quality real estate can be viewed as an equivalent to TIPS plus a risk premium.

REIT closed-end funds, or CEFs, are offering historically high dividend yields. Some yield as much as 14% right now. Is this an opportunity? We highlight various REIT CEFs and explain which is our favorite today.

Earn Up To 14% Dividend Yield From REIT CEFs

Neuberger Berman Real Estate Securities Income Fund offers an 11.11% yield, higher than most other closed-end funds, which could be due to concerns about the real estate sector. The fund's share price is up 12.33% since August 2023, outperforming the S&P 500 Index and iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF. The fund has increased its weighting to office buildings over the past few months, which is curious because these are the buildings at the center of the real estate carnage.

U.S. equity markets notched another week of gains after a busy slate of economic data and corporate earnings results were broadly consistent with a "soft landing" trend for the domestic economy. Ahead of the Federal Reserve's first policy meeting of 2024, the FOMC's favored inflation gauge - Core PCE - showed a "2-handle" for the first time in nearly two years. Notching a series of record highs through the week, the S&P 500 advanced 1.2%, extending its impressive rally since late October to 12 of the past 13 weeks.

After lagging equities for the past two years, REITs offer an attractive investment opportunity in 2024. Peaking or falling yields have historically been a catalyst for strong REIT market outperformance.

Real estate earnings season kicked into gear this week, and over the next month, we'll hear results from 175 equity REITs, 40 mortgage REITs, and dozens of housing industry companies. The sector with perhaps the most to gain from moderating inflation and a normalization in Fed monetary policy, REITs enter earnings season with upside momentum after a dismal eighteen-month stretch. Sentiment and macroeconomic conditions have improved significantly in the past quarter, fueled by several months of encouraging inflation data pointing once again towards a "soft landing" for the domestic economy.

U.S. equity markets posted another week of gains as investors weighed conflicting indications on economic momentum and the need for rate cuts, with strong economic data offsetting soft corporate earnings.
