Blue Vault's review of 12 DST sponsors found historical closed-program or full-cycle information for 11. Eight had closed-program records, nine had completed-program records, and six had both types represented.

The article stresses that a favorable percentage needs to be considered alongside the number of investments behind it. For example, its reported full-cycle break-even measure was 100% for three sponsors, but those results drew on materially different samples. Database coverage and the methodology's disposition-cost assumption limit how the figures can be compared.

## Research considerations

DST coverage can involve new offerings, acquisitions, financing, sponsor developments, or exits. When considering an offering, the property portfolio, sponsor experience, capital structure, fees, and exit assumptions deserve a closer review alongside the announcement.

- Does the announcement concern a specific offering, the sponsor, or the broader DST market?
- What do the current offering documents say about the properties, debt, fees, risks, and exit assumptions?
