In late 2011, shares of high yielding REITs were more volatile than
usual after Fitch Ratings published its fourth-quarter 2011 REIT
Report Quarterly. Fitch declares that 2012 will be a "pivotal" year
for the U.S. REIT sector, as the ratings firm warned that this year
may finally be the one that Fitch "revises its outlook on the U.S.
equity REIT sector after nearly two years of stable credit trends."
The Bedford Report examines the outlook for diversified REITs and
provides equity research on American Capital Agency Corporation
(NASDAQ: AGNC) and Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (NYSE: NLY).

On December 29, 2011 the Fed's survey of senior credit officers
found a "broad, but moderate tightening of credit terms" to large
market participants over the past quarter, particularly noting
REITs, hedge funds, and non-financial corporations. According to
the survey "respondents reported an increase in the degree to which
more-favorable terms were offered to most-favored clients across
most client types."
The Fed's "Senior Credit Officer Opinion Survey" notes that
trading REITs invest in assets backed by real estate rather than
directly in real estate assets.

In 2012 the Real Estate Investment Trust space could see
heightened M&A activity, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Real-estate investment trusts raised a record-breaking amount of
equity in 2011, which the Wall Street Journal says analysts believe
will "be used to pursue acquisitions."
According to the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts, REITs issued $37.5 billion in initial and additional common
and preferred shares last year, up 32 percent year-on-year and was
the largest amount of REIT stock issued since the securities were
established more than fifty years ago.
