Great. Okay.

investors. top an real my peers increasingly positioned and on is to to environment? question, of Sumit, For second exposure, in provide inflation conversation you some inflationary perhaps returns growing the company with lease is Could provide context relative escalator how TCPI-based

Sumit Roy

Sure.

a leases little CPI probably but bigger that. So in say lot I these have associated than adjustments. have about a bit would our It's with them. XX%. a of -- the ceiling floor And Of

there it. but especially to tend be in ceiling be does some a CPI there have rising -- with the level a So we floor here to yes, protection, tends associated in the U.S., of environment,

For happens environment? inflationary us, leases have What in The we problem that we've encountered that fact net the nature. an before. are -- this in lease

and to where less of taxes, goes susceptible because et actual up cost, the tenants. are inflation either less an sort so are much expectation environment inflation We by of insurance, property, our paid cetera,

to And from feel going cost we pretty perspective, expected spreads started anticipation XX-year tenure in in gone go as well. can good still And our relative But past, we've -- but issue up think the thankfully, still come tenure all-in the our around very of a have treasury slightly, environment, been up inflation that far, the to We so on And not see has XXXX the all-in is financing. that the what up. ZIP costs code. to dramatically. good. We in down so in today's we right do XX-year able

that. So pretty good we feel about

interest as U.K. we seeing inflation what of well where in are is contained. very are low, the rates offset to now Some continue be expectations this much in as Europe, by

financing super to there, exciting. be cost And our so all-in continues of

and have if largely we and our for up, going we et created some point, the are translate we to translating fundamentals cetera, particular us that should well. at is to inflation inflation growth, so a us fact that all arising leases have from Look, of it GDP these shield expectations feel also better about also better long-term so tenants. is And And good that benefit. pretty expectations different in fact the geographies the that as helps alternatives somewhat

we leases future expiring. market rents, higher years, et so only our on that to But year, And about so start in should X.X% of cetera. much have not reflect this

leases, XXXX, in a we time. bit especially to regards with have a XXXX, expiration marking so could renewal of market our more leases our us some I of And see during to

so from perspectives, feel And good. those of all pretty we I think

that to often follow One tend is up, of comes we capital, found and cap But true. the prior rate continues interest the to up, okay, your what if impact going questions have to absolutely in rates suit is that cost there that our cycles go environment of as in our situations, of than allows lag, And cost enhance spreads is that moves but rate and follow the even certain faster to does maintain the we then continue And us spreads to have. capital. a of well. if it it cap definitely it's sort

very focused of handle increases. we and a some environment to that expectation that we well inflationary interest environment positioned we made the as feel based are an like company. that rate And we've areas have some we are the an well So feel like on investments of on, situated we increases very
