Build-to-Rent Vs the S&P 500; Outperformance Through Stability

In a market environment where macroeconomic uncertainty feels like the new normal, NexMetro’s Build-to-Rent (BTR) real estate strategy has emerged as a safe haven and a sector that consistently outperforms the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis. NexMetro is the pioneer in this space.

The graph below illustrates the stock market index performance against NexMetro’s performance from 2018 through Q1 2025. Since 2018, the S&P 500 has returned an approximate average annual return of 11.9%, assuming all dividends were reinvested. NexMetro, by comparison, has achieved an average gross return of 23.5% during the same period, resulting in an average net return to investors of 21.2%. In short, NexMetro investments have meaningfully outperformed large-cap securities even through a distressed real estate market in the last 24 months.
