RXRESCTR Considerations
RXRE resides at the intersection of two large and dynamic markets: healthcare and real state where each represents nearly 20% of U.S. GDP
Demand tailwind of large growing senior population and longevity megatrend as almost 20% of U.S. residents are expected to be 65 or older in 2030 (U.S. Census Bureau)
Long-term tenants such as hospitals and medical office buildings provide generally stable, bond-like income payments, resulting in a defensive investment profile.
