  14. CONCLUSIONS www.inspen.gov.my • Different interval period results in varying returns, standard deviations & correlations coefficient of assets . For REITs, current period is best to describe its returns and risk characteristics. • Generally, REITs and Property share are risky asset class, with larger variances compared to stocks, however its volatility is lower during post crisis period – better economic condition. • As opposed to previous studies, including indirect real estates in a mixed-asset portfolio does not gain much diversification benefits: Returns – lower than stocks, but higher than bonds & cash negative during poor economic conditions Std Deviations – variance is largest Corr.Coeff. – with stocks – moderately strong positive - with bonds & cash – low positive and negatively correlated • Outcome: Generally does not provide diversification benefits – low increase in portfolio returns, higher increase in portfolio risk.

  15. LIMITATIONS www.inspen.gov.my • LACK OF DATA - REIT INDEX – The current index based on simple price index is not normal distributed. Data is only available from 1990 onwards. • OTHER REAL ESTATE INDEX - Data on direct real estate is limited to residential data only (only quarterly index is available). There is no commercial property index.
