It has been a lacklustre environment for real estate investment trusts over the past year as investors bet on economic recovery. With bond yields now consolidating, investors may give REITs a second look on growing worries that economic growth may not meet expectations. Insiders at apartment-focused Boardwalk REIT were seen taking profits before the pandemic, but now they are content to accumulate units. For example, on May 18, an officer bought 750 units on a direct ownership basis at $37.67. Another insider acquired 24,692 units in June through rights exercises (not on chart).
