"The demographic tailwind is hard to ignore: the U.S. baby boomer generation is aging rapidly, driving sustained demand for senior living and medical facilities that is not tied to economic cycles."
"Healthcare real estate also tends to be more defensive than other property types because people need medical care regardless of the broader economy, which makes it an appealing hedge in an uncertain macroeconomic environment."
"Healthcare spending is projected to grow 5% per year until 2028. Given all the positives for the sector, we decided to screen all healthcare REITs to identify the companies best suited for growth and income investors looking to diversify."
Healthcare real estate investment trusts (REITs) are becoming increasingly attractive due to the aging U.S. baby boomer population, which drives demand for senior living and medical facilities. Valuations in the sector have improved, providing a better entry point for investors. Healthcare real estate is more defensive compared to other property types, making it a hedge against economic uncertainty. The expiration of ACA subsidies and rising Medicare premiums may increase demand for REIT-owned properties. Projected healthcare spending growth further supports the sector's potential for growth and income.
