Morgan Stanley Smith Barney has filed a Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering the firm’s first non-traded real estate investment trust, North Haven Net REIT, a perpetual REIT.

While not yet effective, the REIT’s investment strategy is to create a diversified portfolio of high-quality commercial real estate assets that are primarily long-term leased under net lease structures to tenants for whom the properties are mission critical, meaning essential to the continuance of their business operations. It will seek to “target high quality, credit-worthy tenants whose businesses have strong outlooks and are resilient in the face of economic downturns and quality real estate properties that we believe have the potential to appreciate in value over the long-term by virtue of their sector, physical attributes and market location.”

The property types they intend to target, include, but are not limited to, industrial, manufacturing, warehouse, distribution and research and development, healthcare, and essential retail. They also plan to originate, acquire, finance and manage a portfolio of commercial real estate debt investments diversified across both geography and asset class. Additionally, the filing says that the company intends to hold cash, cash equivalents and other short-term investments.
