Omega Healthcare and Holly Energy Partners: Case Studies in REIT and MLP Income Evaluation
Image shown: The performance of the Vanguard REIT ETF (VNQ) during the Financial Crisis in 2007-2009. An assessment of a REIT’s or MLP’s dividend/distribution strength not only should reflect firm-specific fundamentals, but also external market conditions, which are paramount to the sustainability of most any REIT’s or MLP’s payout.
