Affordable housing: investment opportunities worthy of consideration
Article Abstract:
Pension funds are starting to provide financing to residential developers as conditions in the real estate market are perceived to be improving. Pension trusts have always preferred long-term real estate investments that offer a hedge against the risks associated with for-sale residential development. Pension fund advisors, however, have developed a set of criteria for participation in residential development projects. At least four alternative investment structures to be made available to developers are also under consideration.

British financier contends international bonds present major U.S. fund opportunity
Article Abstract:
International bonds are major investment opportunities for pension funds in the US. These overseas bonds not only provide investors the chance to improve their portfolio returns but they also offer benefits from diversification through foreign exposure to currency markets. They also offer long term performance benefits and diverse investment choices which makes international bonds more valuable than any other bonds although their value is relative to domestic fixed income investments.
