The latest announcement is out from National Storage REIT ( (AU:NSR) ).

National Storage REIT has disclosed that Morgan Stanley and certain subsidiaries have ceased to be substantial holders in the stapled securities of the storage-focused REIT as of 19 January 2026. The change follows a series of on‑market trades by Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited on that date, involving multiple purchases but significantly larger disposals of fully paid stapled units, which reduced Morgan Stanley’s aggregate voting interest below the substantial holding threshold. The exit of a global investment bank from a substantial position may alter the REIT’s institutional investor mix and could signal repositioning by Morgan Stanley, although there is no indication of any direct operational impact on National Storage REIT from the change in shareholding.
