As we close the fourth quarter, Welch & Forbes LLC has made yet another wise investment in commercial real estate. The recent Form 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) indicates that they have purchased a new position in W. P. Carey Inc., an investment trust company that specializes in commercial real estate properties. Welch & Forbes LLC now holds a total of 2,760 shares of W.P. Carey’s stock, valued at approximately $216,000.

W.P. Carey, Inc operates through two primary business segments: Real Estate and Investment Management. The former owns and invests in commercial real estate properties while the latter structures investments and debt placement transactions for other real estate investment trusts (REITs). Additionally, the firm manages portfolios of real estate investments.

Investors benefit from W.P Carey’s strong financial foundation complemented by a commitment to shareholder value. As an affirmation of this stance towards shareholders, the company recently announced its quarterly dividend payment which was paid on April 14th to shareholders who were recorded as of March 31st on the official records; qualifying shareholders were granted a dividend of $1.067 per share held.

The increase from W.P Carey’s previous quarterly dividend is impressive – having risen from $1.07 – resulting in an annualized yield of 5.90% for those holding shares within the investment trust company during this period. This puts W.P Carey’s payout ratio at an impressive position currently standing at 142.47%.

Welch & Forbes LLC’s recent acquisition suggests that they are taking advantage of these impressive figures by extending their portfolio into commercial real estate through investing with one of America’s leading REITs .
