Carey, however, was not alone in its January advance. Shares of peers VEREIT (NYSE: VER) and STORE Capital (NYSE: STOR) were up 13% and 14%, respectively. That was roughly in line with the advance seen in the broader REIT space, with industry proxy Vanguard Real Estate ETF, an exchange-traded fund, rising around 12% during the first month of the new year. The S&P 500 index, meanwhile, was up just 8% or so.
