Real estate
From listed to unlisted; domestic to global; core to opportunistic; traditional to emerging managers, investing in real estate should have no boundaries.
Why invest in real estate?
Real estate offers high diversification benefits. Historically, there has been a very low correlation between private core real estate and public equities and bond indexes. The investment holdings emphasize quality income-producing investments across a broad spectrum of regions. There is also the opportunity for appreciation in private core real estate. Real estate also has a high sensitivity to long-term inflation. High-quality real estate holdings mean there is the potential to move with rising inflation through rent or lease increases. While equity and bond-related indexes tend to suffer during periods of rising inflation, core real estate can exhibit returns during periods that are relatively similar to those they deliver during periods of expected inflation.
Investor benefits
Lower volatility
From an investment perspective, the leasing and financing structures found in real estate investments are long term in nature and have historically contributed to relatively stable cash yields.
Additionally, private real estate returns are largely dependent on periodic asset valuations and therefore do not exhibit the same level of volatility as returns from investments listed on exchanges.
