Property on the up
Article Abstract:
Net institutional investment in the UK property market is expected to rise in 1996, according to a survey by DTZ Debenham Thorpe Research. Some 60% of fund managers expect to raise or maintain their weighting in commercial property, while there will be fewer property disposals. Institutional fund managers predict that returns from property will reach 10.9% by the end of 1996, vs 5.6% for gilts and 8.4% for equities. However, only 62% plan to develop property in the coming 12 months, vs 72% in the previous survey.

Future perfect
Article Abstract:
The UK property market is now ready for a derivative product, according to companies such as AMP Asset Management, which is offering its institutionally backed Real Estate Index Market, and BZW, with its Property Index Futures. Investors are now seeking derivative exposure to the quoted sector, and this is boosting demand for products such as SBC Warburg's UK Large Cap Property Basket Warrants. There is also growing interest in futures linked to the performance of direct property investments.
