National Storage Affiliates

First Trust Capital Management established a new position in National Storage Affiliates Trust, acquiring 1,814,200 shares valued at about $61.29 million (3.6% of the fund's 13F AUM) with a quarter-end value of $68.47 million. The stake comes as NSA is set to be acquired by Public Storage in a roughly $10.5 billion transaction. NSA reported solid operating results, with Q1 net income up 42% year‑over‑year, Core FFO per share up 5.6%, and occupancy rising to 84.5% (84.9% by April 30). The move appears to be a play on the planned consolidation rather than a bet on rapid organic growth. » Mais em finance.yahoo.com
