Track Record Disclosure
At any given time, Green Street publishes roughly the same number of “BUY” recommendations that it does “SELL” recommendations.
|
Green Street's “BUYs” have historically achieved far higher total returns than its “HOLDs”, which, in turn, have outperformed its “SELLs”

The results shown above are hypothetical; they do not represent the actual trading of securities. Green Street does not provide research recommendations in its capacity as an investment adviser, does not act as a fiduciary to clients with respect to research recommendations, does not tailor recommendations to any investment objective or risk profile of any individual investor, and does not manage securities portfolios for any client. No investor should rely on research recommendations as investment advice. Actual performance of any investor’s portfolio will vary from the hypothetical performance shown above due to, but not limited to 1) advisory fees and other expenses that one would pay to an investment adviser; 2) transaction costs; 3) the inability to execute trades at the last published price (the hypothetical returns assume execution at the last closing price); 4) the inability to maintain an equally-weighted portfolio in size (the returns above assume an equal weighting); and 5) the extent to which an investor incorporated other investments into a securities portfolio. Additionally, market and economic factors will almost certainly cause an investor to invest differently than projected by the model that simulated the above returns. All returns include the reinvestment of dividends. Past performance, particularly hypothetical performance, cannot be used to predict future performance. Investing involves risk and possible loss of principal capital.
- (1) Hypothetical performance is based on research reports made by Green Street’s North American Research Team only (includes securities in the US, Canada, and Australia). Since July 5, 2017, performance is calculated whenever a recommendation is changed using the share price at the most recent market close. Previously, performance was based on recommendations provided in Green Street's "Real Estate Securities Monthly" (RESM) and assumed no change in recommendation between RESM publications.
- (2) Beginning July 5, 2017, all companies in Green Street’s North American coverage universe are included in the performance calculation. Previously, inclusion in the calculation of total return had been based on whether the companies were listed in the primary exhibit of Green Street’s "Real Estate Securities Monthly" and had a rating other than "Not Rated".
- (3) From 1993 until July 3, 2017, the returns for each year cover the period following the first RESM issued in the respective year through the first RESM issued in the following year and are not based on a calendar year. Subsequent to July 5, 2017, returns are based on calendar months.
“Buy” = Most attractively valued stocks. “Hold” = Fairly valued stocks. “Sell” = Least attractively valued stocks. “Not Rated” companies are covered by the firm’s research department but are not rated due to fundamental attributes related to business prospects and balance sheets that are deemed to make the securities more option-like than equity-like.
Green Street will furnish upon request available information regarding the recommendation.
