Wafra Inc. ("Wafra") and Welltower Inc. (NYSE: WELL), an S&P 500 healthcare real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced a $550 million joint venture partnership between Welltower and certain vehicles managed by Wafra (such vehicles, collectively, the "Wafra Vehicles").

"We believe the middle market segment is compelling, in large part because it remains an inefficient market where relationships and hard work pay off."

"The most attractive aspect of this Partnership is the experience, cohesion and proven capabilities of the Team, as well as an industry that we believe has tailwinds towards sector specialization."

"We are long-term investors and long-term investors are there when people run away, and are still there when people jump back into the market."

"Global partnerships and building long-term trust and relationships between like-minded institutions and investors are key."
