A world of choice
We offer investors the choice of investing indirectly, through Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and exchange-traded funds, and directly through property funds and trusts, which provide substantial diversification benefits. Your company will enjoy unparalleled choice with a range of funds covering the UK, Europe, the US and Asia, as well as access to some global funds.
While real estate presents the opportunity to make significant returns, the sector does experience fluctuations and cycles in value and local market conditions, which may result in the decline in value of a property and value of an investment. The embedded gearing or leverage that many real estate operators use can amplify these declines. Real estate investments are often illiquid and should be regarded as fixed and long-term.
