Recognising the Overseas Property Investment Opportunity

I would like to share with you an article I read recently in Tenerife News - the leading English newspaper provider in the Canary Islands. The article outlines the benefits from investing in the property market even in these troubled times.

I will share with you the conclusion of the article but it is well worth reading the whole article, by Financial Correspondent - Blevins Franks.

In times of heightened volatility and greater uncertainty, it is even more important to maintain investment discipline. In particular, diversification ‘ across asset classes, regions, investment styles and securities ‘ maximises the chance that investors will participate when asset prices recover. It can also provide some protection should some asset classes experience further falls.

A globally diversified REIT fund offers the opportunity to obtain exposure to non-domestic markets, which can offer varied return characteristics. Real estate cycles in different markets and sectors are driven to a large extent by local factors such as gross domestic product growth, taxation policies and government initiatives. A globally diversified fund therefore provides greater stability for investors and a wider opportunity set for active managers than would be available in a single market/region.

If you have Real Estate as part of your portfolio, this is the time to maintain investment discipline; if you do not, perhaps this is the best time to take a closer look at this asset class.
