Mall and retail real estate investment trusts (REITs) don't on the surface seem like a likely battleground for investors on Seeking Alpha. They are a relatively obscure sector of the market, one layer abstracted from the underlying retail business. And the business of owning real estate and lending it out to retail companies seems boring enough.
We talked about Simon Property Group (SPG) this week, at the prompting of Seeking Alpha author and Behind the Idea listener Julian Lin, whose recent article we used as a springboard. Simon Property Group is usually considered the top Mall REIT, one of the good ones, full of A-properties. We break down whether that holds up for an investment story, and what else to watch for.
Topics covered:
