CALL INVITE

We we hope you can join us on Thursday, September 9th at 10:00am ET for our Black Book presentation on new Long Bias name AMERCO (UHAL).  As we wrote about HERE, UHAL technically resides outside of the REIT space, but is still highly relevant to the self-storage subsector given its large wholly-owned portfolio and third-party property management business.  It did not make the Best Idea list given some idiosyncratic risks, relative opacity and lack of disclosure around key items that we would typically like to see for a REIT, but in our view clients need to be long storage and UHAL is an interesting tangential play on the pricing power of the space. The signals confirm that.
