The unique characteristics of the real estate asset class, combined with visibility on the underlying cash-flow streams, enables real estate investors with a deep understanding of the property cycle to implement a 360-degree approach to their property strategy and portfolio allocations. Applying this universal approach to property allocations can offer investors an opportunity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns throughout the property occupancy cycle.
In addition to superior risk-adjusted returns, a 360-degree investment approach can yield portfolio characteristics geared towards specific attributes, such as inflation linkage, certainty of cash flows, and potentially act as a balance sheet hedge for certain types of investors.
