Senior Living Investing: Golden Years Ahead or Troubled Times Instead?

The years following the Great Financial Crisis saw a massive surge in demand amongst real estate investors for “alternative” property types.  Within this niche, Senior Living – with its favorable outperformance, robust returns, and attractive demand drivers – was poised for a breakout moment and the industry watched as the category skyrocketed into stardom.

But as the saying goes, nothing gold can stay. Recent years have seen a flood of new supply hit the markets, resulting in increasingly soft fundamentals and a downward trend in sector performance. Has the clock run out?  How should investors view Senior Living today?

In our latest white paper, Virtus dives into the fundamentals of the Senior Living category, investigates the forward-looking trends, and ultimately evaluates whether or not this heavy-hitter deserves to keep its spot in our lineup.
