What this transaction means for investors

Adelante Capital Management slashed its BXP holdings. At the end of the fourth quarter, it held about 75,000 shares, down from more than 285,000 shares on Sept. 30.

The value of its holdings decreased from $21.2 million to $5.1 million. Representing 0.3% of Adelante’s assets under management (AUM), it’s now one of the firm’s smallest holdings.

Adelante, specializing in real estate investment trusts (REITs), owned 42 equities worth $1.5 billion. Its five largest holdings accounted for 41.6% of its AUM, and the top 10 represented 61.6%.

Investors should note that BXP’s shares have performed poorly. The stock lost 16.8%, including dividends, over the last year through March 2. By comparison, the iShares FTSE NAREIT All Equity REIT Index Fund, a mutual fund tracking the index, returned 7.8%.

With a stubbornly weak office market, investors should use caution before making a purchase.
