Equity Raised For DSTs Jumps 27% From 2025
Bisnow reported that DST sponsors raised $7.5 billion through September 2026, compared with $5.9 billion in the same period a year earlier. The article attributes the 27% increase to Mountain Dell Consulting data first reported by AltsWire.
September fundraising itself declined year over year, underscoring the difference between monthly and cumulative trends. Ares accounted for approximately 19.3% of activity, with Blue Owl, ExchangeRight and Hines also among the large fundraisers. The story links institutional platform growth to demand for managed fractional property ownership, while the statistics measure capital raised rather than investor returns.
