This supplement contains information about the nontraded REIT industry dating back to 1990, highlights significant events that took place in 2009, and provides a forecast for market expectations in 2010. Some of the key findings noted in this publication are:

The Blue Vault Partners Nontraded REIT Industry Review is one of the few tools available to financial advisors that offers them an independent perspective on the nontraded REIT industry.
Two of the earliest subscribers to the report were Raymond J. Lucia, Sr., CFP, President and Founder of the Raymond J. Lucia Companies, Inc. and Gregory De Jong, CFP, Co-Founder of Paragon Advisors, LLC.
Mr. Lucia noted, “As nontraded REITS grow in popularity, advisors must be apprised of all of the different programs available, their respective attributes and what sets the ones they sell apart from other nontraded REITs in the industry. The Blue Vault Nontraded REIT Industry Review gives me a concise breakdown of what is happening in the marketplace and better prepares our firm as we advise our clients on offerings in the non-traded REIT space.”
Mr. De Jong added, “Blue Vault is just what advisors need to size up the different offerings in the nontraded REIT market. Just as importantly, it’s what the industry needs to encourage best practices among REITs.”
The Blue Vault Partners Nontraded REIT Industry Review was created with the intent to bring standardization to the nontraded REIT industry as it relates to tracking key metrics and monitoring the health and performance of the industry.
Shanon Ford, President, Pacific West Securities, Inc. commented, “As a broker/dealer, we like the subscription because of its graphical presentation and distilling of key points as it offers us a clear, summary picture of each REIT very quickly. The weekly newsletters are also extremely valuable as they keep us updated on the most recent events taking place in the industry.”
Primarily designed as an independent data source for financial advisors and broker/dealers, the report has also attracted the interest of nontraded REIT product sponsors who support the need for more transparency in the industry.
