On average,  J-REITs have historically outperformed the TSEREIT Index in the wake of follow-on equity offerings, with win rates exceeding 80%. While JREIT offerings are mostly of interest to primary market investors, we also see such offerings as potential catalysts for strong secondary market performance making these events worth tracking for secondary market investors too.
