Article Abstract:
Property trusts that are usually bought by investors for their yields become less attractive when interest rates rise but these trusts have outperformed the Australian All Ordinaries by more than five percent in the year 2003 despite the strong performance in the first half of the same year. Analysts attribute this strong performance to the trusts as they re-worked their stock portfolio and concentrated more on defensive stocks.
