Own Real Estate Your Own Way

Why global property equities?

1. Real estate offers inflation protection

A recovering economy typically leads to rising rental income and increases the value of underlying real estate assets. Rental contracts are often linked to inflation through annual uplifts or are reset when they expire.

Rental contracts often have fixed or inflation linked annual uplifts

2. REIT income remains attractive

Attractive and sustainable yields at a premium to those of general equities and bonds. Reinvested dividends have comprised ~60% of long-term total return in the listed real estate sector.

Dividend yield spread elevated vs history, especially relative to corportate and high yield bonds

3. Real estate allocations continue to grow

Whilst REITs are still a relatively young asset class, they have evolved into one which is very much relevant today and beyond. Institutional allocations to real estate continue to grow, supporting underlying real estate asset pricing, particularly in the more structurally supported sectors. These sectors offer highly visible long-term compounding return potential, driven by permanent and powerful secular tailwinds such as e-commerce, mobile data, cloud computing, 5G, changing demographics and sustainability.

4. Portfolio diversification and liquidity

Global property equities offer a low cost, liquid and transparent way to gain exposure to a wide range of property sectors across geographies. Historically, REITs have shown a low correlation to bonds and equities, making them an efficient way to diversify portfolios and potentially help enhance risk-adjusted returns.1

Note: The efficient frontier shows the minimum variance portfolio (or least risky portfolio) for a given rate of return. The resulting line shows the most efficient portfolio for any given combination of risk and return. Rational investors will construct portfolios that have risk-return profiles that are located on this frontier. The efficient frontiers are calculated using data from a rolling 10-year period.
