Property

Property investments are diverse and can include office buildings, industrial sites, retail shopping centres and new developments. Property provides a combination of regular income payments in the form of rent and potential increases in the value of the property.

Property can be purchased directly, or indirectly via units in a Listed Property Trust (LPT) or units in an Unlisted Trust.
Short-term changes in individual investor perceptions do not tend to influence unlisted property to the same degree as they influence LPTs. LPTs are traded on the share market, and can be subject to movements in sentiment, so their value can fluctuate significantly over the short-term.
