The unprecedented financial crisis and ensuing recession have had a devastating effect on personal wealth. The economic downturn has seeped into nearly every asset class, from equities and corporate bonds to many forms of real estate. Virtually every asset class suffered negative returns in 2008. Today, investors seeking a safe haven are flocking to Treasury Notes or moving to cash. Yet, invariably, these investments lack the upside potential that investors need. With credit markets in distress, U.S. Treasury yields continue to remain low, making it difficult for an investor to achieve a sufficient return without compromising their risk profile. In the current market environment, earning a sustainable return has become more challenging than ever before. As a result, investors face an unenviable task of determining where to commit capital. Salus Property Investments (Salus) presents a unique opportunity for investors by concentrating on direct ownership of investment grade commercial real estate assets leased to the U.S. Government. This model is designed to provide investors with consistent returns and rental income flow over the long term.
