EPRA CEO Mr. Dominique Moerenhout at the 16th RED Meeting Point

European-listed real estate investments can effectively improve risk-adjusted performance in a multi-asset portfolio, according to the EPRA CEO, Dominique Moerenhout. Listed real estate in a multi-asset class portfolio expands the efficient frontier, increases the Sharpe ratio and provides more stable risk-adjusted returns.

This is apparently a risk-adjusted opportunity for investors. According to the CEO of EPRA, securitizations have a remarkable potential to grow in Greece and other European countries in the short run.

However, listed real estate stocks and securitization vehicles investing in real estate cannot be a solution for everything. “All investors deserve well-balanced portfolios. But I would like to underline “where” we at EPRA believe investors should position themselves and how much “weight” listed real estate sector deserves to have in every large institutional investment portfolio,” Mr. Moerenhout said during his opening remarks at the 16th RED Meeting Point.

Most global real estate investors use listed securities alongside direct real estate investments. They should dispose more funds in listed companies offering a repositioning opportunity to investors.
