Triple-net, meaning that they buy a building that is occupied and owned by the tenants, in exchange for a long-term lease. A very low risk, but very bond-like. They’ve been doing well recently with the collapse in interest rates. However, when interest rates reverse you don’t want to own this. Considering that this and bonds in general have had a great run, this is probably not the time to be buying.
