TO MY FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,
2025 was a strategic repositioning for NexPoint Diversified Real Estate Trust (NYSE: NXDT)
( NXDT or the Company ), during which we focused on further building a durable
foundation to support long-term value creation. Throughout the year, our team remained
disciplined in executing our strategy of repositioning, developing, and managing diversified
real estate investments across the United States.
As a diversified real estate investment trust ( REIT ), NXDT is positioned to pursue
opportunities across multiple property types and points within the capital structure. We
believe this flexibility allows us to navigate evolving market conditions and allocate capital
where we see the most compelling risk-adjusted opportunities.
Executing a Disciplined Investment Strategy
NXDT s primary investment objective is to generate both current income and long-term
capital appreciation. We seek to achieve this objective by investing across a broad range
of residential and commercial real estate assets, including equity, mortgage debt,
mezzanine debt, and preferred equity. Our target property types include, among others,
single-family rental ( SFR ), multifamily, self-storage, life science, office, industrial,
hospitality, net lease, retail and small-bay industrial properties. To a limited extent, the
Company may also hold or transact in certain non-real estate securities.
Our investment approach emphasizes opportunistic and value-add strategies focused on
assets with intrinsic value and credit quality. Through active asset management,
development, and selective dispositions, we aim to enhance portfolio cash flow and asset
values, supporting long-term capital appreciation for our shareholders. In addition, NXDT
selectively pursues real estate credit investments when we believe certain subsectors are
positioned to outperform within the broader real estate cycle.
We believe this diversified and flexible investment approach is well suited to the current
market environment. While our strategy may evolve over time in response to changing
economic conditions, we view adaptability as a key differentiator for NXDT within the
diversified REIT landscape.
