Carey Inc. (NYSE: WPC) is a real estate investment trust specializing in the ownership and management of commercial properties under long-term, net lease agreements.

Its investments are concentrated in the United States and Europe, particularly in Western and Northern European markets. Founded in 1973 by William Polk Carey, the company became a publicly traded real estate investment trust in 1998. W.P.
