The above graph illustrates the long-term performance of real estate companies focused on owning assets for their rental income streams, compared to real estate companies focused on generating earnings through developing and selling properties. Development permissions are often sought, and approvals granted, in prosperous periods where economic conditions and earnings growth are supportive of demand and therefore, development profits. However, in the time from conception to completion of a development, economic conditions may change such that properties are delivered at less favourable times in the cycle. Dedicated developers who develop through full-cycles will at times not achieve their targeted profit margins and may underestimate the appropriate risk premium needed to compensate for development risk.

Over the long-term, global listed real estate has been lowly correlated with global bonds and moderately correlated with global equities. Looking at correlations over the past 25 years, listed real estate correlation has been approximately 0.74 with equities, and approximately 0.36 with bonds. This evidences diversification benefits, which enable better risk-adjusted returns over long-term periods when included in a diversified portfolio.

At Catalyst we have a long-standing, robust investment process that has been tested over numerous market cycles and periods of dislocation. During times of heightened uncertainty, volatility, and weakness in the market our process is invaluable and tends to show its true mettle. As active, specialist listed real estate investors we are likewise fortunate to have an extensive opportunity set spanning a variety of sub-sectors and companies with unique underlying economic drivers. While these will not be entirely immune to the ebbs and flows of the broader economy and stock markets, it does provide us with the tools to construct portfolios for varying economic conditions to better enable the management of risk and return over the long-term.
The estimated forward FAD (Funds Available for Distribution) yield for the sector is 5.40%. For investors with a similar long-term time horizon, the sector appears fairly valued with more attractively priced opportunities for astute active managers to generate superior risk-adjusted returns.
