Buy Property

According to New Star Asset Management, UK property remains a compelling investment case, with underlying assets in good health.  Head of global property, Stuart Webster said although the UK had experienced heavy markdowns in valuations, it was still a “core market for quality”.  He also highlighted long-term historical returns, which he said demonstrated stable outperformance of equities, gilts and cash.

He did point out that Asian markets, such as Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore as being “the mainstay of a balanced property portfolio post the credit boom, providing investors stick to quality properties less likely to suffer from any spill over from a US slowdown”.  

Our view

We have always maintained that commercial property remains a strong contender in a balanced portfolio and all investors should consider the sector for medium and longer term growth.
