The end of the year is a time for investors to focus on
diversification. Despite the major exchanges continuing to hit record highs,
there are reasons for investors to be sceptical of the future. The real estate sector recently saw tough times but the
presence of this investment vehicle generally adds stability to a portfolio.
This is because volatility in property prices is far less compared to the
extent experienced by stocks. Adding such funds to a widely diversified portfolio
would increase returns while significantly reducing the associated risk.
