November 2022 Update
The importance of geographic diversification.
Humphreys Real Estate Income Fund (HREIF) understands the importance of geographic diversification. As we look across the United States, not every city is created equally and different cities respond to economic events in different ways. Over the past couple of years, our team has identified markets that have upward economic growth potential and quantifiable factors that drive economic growth.
HREIF has focused investment on markets historically labeled as second and third tier, due to their stature compared to the primary markets of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, etc. We found that markets like Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Phoenix, Orlando, and Atlanta have upward growth potential that has been on display in recent years.
To continue to create growth and yield, it is important to be in the right markets while maintaining proper diversification across those markets, avoiding over concentration in any given market.
Hear from Grant Humphreys, President of Humphreys Capital, about why geographic diversification is important in this economic environment in this video.
