Unknown Analyst
Join us for the presentation of Ventas. I’m Dave Rogers, one of the senior REIT analyst here with Raymond James. Thanks for joining us. With me today, I’m excited to announce that the management team of Ventas is here, Chairwoman and CEO, Debra Cafaro, is here; Justin Hutchens, who is EVP of Operations and Senior Housing, and I have it written down here, but let me go back, EVP of Senior Housing and Chief Investment Officer, that’s the one I was forgetting and then BJ Grant, SVP of Investor Relations. So thanks for being here, and we’ll get started.
Debbie, I’m going to turn it over to you really to introduce Ventas and maybe even more than just an introduction of the company, wrap it into what’s the value and kind of opportunity with Ventas today?
Debra Cafaro
Chairman & CEO
Okay. Well, thanks so much for being here. Thanks for hosting us. Ventas is an S&P 500 company focused on the megatrend of longevity. We serve a large and growing aging population, principally through the growth engine of senior housing. We’ve delivered 19% annual return since the year 2000. And we really are excited about everything that we’ve accomplished, particularly in the last several years since Justin has been here, and more importantly, looking forward over the next decade.
There are 3 key things that we really want to talk about. So one is the macro tailwinds of secular demand and limited supply that underpin the excitement we feel about the next decade. The second is really the machine that we’ve built
