City AM reports that the Financial Conduct Authority closed its Home REIT inquiry and intended no further action against the company. The review covered September 22, 2020 through January 3, 2023. The regulator told the publication it would support the Serious Fraud Office’s separate investigation.

The article also describes claims by more than 800 shareholders alleging misleading statements about rental income, tenants and property valuations. Those allegations remain distinct from the FCA’s decision. The separate SFO investigation concerns suspected fraud and bribery involving past management; the closure of the FCA inquiry does not resolve those proceedings.

## Research considerations

REIT news can cover acquisitions, operating results, distributions, capital raising, and liquidity. Publicly traded and nontraded structures can have different reporting and liquidity arrangements. Identify the actual vehicle before comparing an announcement with other investments.

- Which REIT or portfolio is covered, and what period does the announcement describe?
- How do the reported figures relate to debt, operating performance, distribution coverage, and liquidity?
