Property
Why invest in property?
Property can be a very attractive asset to include in your portfolio – especially as it often performs well when stock markets are going through an unstable period.
Over the long term, property has been proven to outperform most sectors, so it might be a good bet even when share or bond prices fall.
Of course, property markets can still be volatile, as shown by recent events. However, the best property funds will spread their exposure across many property areas.
For example, a property fund could give you access to the commercial property sector as well. This may include retail premises, office space and warehousing.
Property funds remain one of the most practical ways to get exposure to real estate. Some invest in actual bricks and mortar, while other funds may include shares in property companies or property securities known as real estate investment trusts (REITS). Investments in funds of this nature are subject to specific risks arising from investment in REITs and property related securities and investors should ensure that they fully understand these.
