WELL's recent AFFO growth reflects a cyclical senior housing recovery and timing advantages, not sustainable outperformance or unique management capabilities. REITs structurally limit management's ability to generate extreme alpha; WELL's premium is unjustified by fundamentals or platform differentiation.

Many REITs trade 30–40% below property values, creating a rare opportunity. Real estate may hold up better during wars and geopolitical shocks. Unlike most sectors, AI cannot disrupt physical real estate assets.
