Market Commentary

Here’s what everyone’s missing: regulators circling Big Finance are about to make yield-chasing in passive REIT ETFs feel expensive. We’ve watched Truist Financial Corp shift out of Public Storage and Healthpeak Properties without blinking, yet few are pricing in the extra drag from compliance costs and potential capital buffers. That’s a hidden tax no one wants.

Now look at that “Meta buy-sell day” from ETF Daily News—Trivium Point and Bosman Wealth buying while Parkside took profits. Combine that tug-of-war with Truist’s ramp into Freeport-McMoRan, and you see a deeper theme: pros are hunting real assets and volatility, not chasing passive indexes. It’s not random hustling; it’s a methodical shift in the mix.

Action time: if you’re still overweight on passive REIT ETFs, lighten up and redeploy into companies with real earnings power—and buy in layers. Forget chasing every hype wave; focus on names with cash-flow moats and proprietary businesses. That’s where actual money hides.
