Maher said:

“We hosted meetings last week in between senior management from Trust (ILPT) and institutional investors. Topics of discussion were wide ranging from broad overviews of the portfolio and strategy to more granular topics such as how to build meaningful investment positions given the small float and when that might become easier. A key discussion item surrounded news from the Journal that ILPT had just acquired a logistics facility near the potential for ILPT’s acquisition activity to ramp in the near term. With the January IPO of ILPT and its material capital availability (>$450M) to make acquisitions, it is key to the growth story.”
