Due Diligence Forum summary

Recent market volatility affecting the listed property sector has refocused investors on where best to get their property exposure, and the potential merits of holding direct property investment vehicles.

This presentation and underlying research paper examine the current macroeconomic drivers affecting the domestic property sector, while also reflecting on its broader performance over the past 20 years, at an asset class level. They examine direct property's ongoing relevance in portfolio construction for both income and growth, and focus on the key attributes to consider when combining unlisted property with other asset classes.
