The globalization of financial markets has led to an integrated world market. Emerging economies such as China and India have opened up their markets to foreign investors. New instruments such as exchange-traded funds are being created, and current instruments are being expanded to include real asset investments such as natural resources and real estate investments.To better understand the full range of investments available, this book identifies different asset classes and current hot topics such as new financial instruments, innovations, and strategies in a changing global environment. Asset class, which can be labeled as either traditional or alternative investments, is examined in three areas: (1) trends — description of the current topic/instrument/strategy in the chosen asset class; (2) opportunities — identification of what is new and/or where to invest or arbitrage, i.e., location; and (3) risks — determination of the risks (peculiar to the location) and how international investors can manage/reduce/eliminate them.

This work provides the investing public, real estate practitioners, regulators and real estate and finance academics with up-to-date information on what modern scholarly research tells us about Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). REITs are credited to allow institutional and individual investors to invest in real estate via a corporate entity. The increasing interest in REITs as indicated by their growth in market capitalization and institutional holdings in the United States and around the world suggests that REITs are becoming an increasingly important part of investors' diversified portfolio.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 8.0, Maastricht University (SBE), course: Investment analysis and portfolio management, language: English, abstract: Most of today’s portfolios include bonds and equities. This composition enables investors to reduce firm-specific risk and diversify among different asset classes. Important assets that could further enhance diversification are investments in real estate. The risk-reducing effect of real estate partly stems from its local nature. Furthermore, investors, both local and international, face differences concerning the information available with respect to the real estate market and the bond or stock market. The former offers less information to investors than the latter market. Real estate markets are less integrated, which means that there are not many investments made in this market. This can be a further explanation of the positive diversification effects of real estate. Therefore, one could ask whether direct- or indirect real estate investment enhances diversification. The purpose of this report is to investigate whether there is a positive diversification effect of real estate on the risk of a portfolio. The report takes a look at previous findings of researchers concerning the diversification effect of real estate and proceeds with the analysis of the descriptive statistics. Next, the correlation between indirect and direct real estate, bonds and equity is examined followed by.....

This textbook, aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate real estate programmes, provides an overview of real estate investment and pricing in a global context with special attention to the diversification of asset types in three parts. Designed as a successor to Will Fraser’s successful student-led investment book, Principles of Property Investment and Pricing, it encompasses the microeconomics of real estate markets and context alongside pricing failures of real estate highlighted by the impact of the global financial crisis, especially with regard to irrationality and risk. Part 1 focuses on the microeconomics of the real estate sector, covering the complex nature of real estate and the consequences for economic analysis and the operation of the market, the underlying essential processes and principles of real estate investment decision making, including a pricing model, and the significance of real estate cycles and why they occur. Part 2 begins with the characteristics of real estate as an investment, differentiated between direct and indirect investment, and making comparisons with alternative stock market assets, then examines real estate investors and their objectives, including financial institutions, REITs and other indirect vehicles. Additionally, it sets out the frameworks within which real estate investment decisions are made in relation to other investments and focuses on decision-making processes and the practicalities of performance measurement. Emerging real estate debates are discussed in Part 3. These chapters are primarily forward-looking to the implications and challenges for real estate investment, including the consequences of recent aspects of regulation, changes to occupier demand, partly driven by technology but also sustainability pressures, the logic and difficulties of international investment, with a particular focus on emerging markets.

The financial deregulation of the last quarter century has meant large flows of funds around the world seeking the highest risk-adjusted return for investors. Real estate is now established as an important asset class and advances in information technology provide the necessary tools to complement global developments in real estate finance and investment. A variety of investment vehicles have emerged, andReal Estate Finance in the New Economy examines these along with financing and risk in the context of globalization, deregulation and an increasingly integrated international world economy by exploring questions like: How have real estate financial structures evolved as economies grow and become internationalised? What role do economic change and financial systems play in the development of real estate investment? Are the risks associated with the ‘new economy’ really new? What is the future direction for real estate financing? The authors develop an economic framework for discussions on individual financial products to examine how real estate financial structures change with economic growth and internationalisation and also to show how developments in real estate finance impact economic growth.
