With the virtual shift that COVID-19 placed on our society along with resulting closures of brick and mortar retail across the globe, REITs, or Real Estate Investment Trusts, may not have had their best year in 2020. But as we’ve begun to adjust to the “new normal” of a post-pandemic economy, what might investors want to keep their eyes on in real estate?

On this episode of Disruptive Forces, Gillian Tiltman and Brian Jones, Portfolio Managers for Neuberger Berman’s REITs group, join Anu Rajakumar to reflect on what happened in REITs markets globally throughout the pandemic and discuss what trends have appeared as a result of this new environment.
