Question asked

Property Sector

Hi, Thanks for your ongoing daily reports and in particular the Saturday Q&A. I’m wondering about the property sector. I note your comments earlier in the week. Do you have a more global view on the sector. I’m interested in International Trends across the sector. Regards Michael

Answer

Hi Michael,

The key is largely interest rates which are set to fall in most countries, though it’s also important that employment remains solid.

  • We are bullish towards the Australian and US housing/construction sectors with interest rates due to fall, albeit at different rates and pent up demand for building.
  • Similarly, we like the Australian and US real estate sectors having purchased GPT Group (GPT) and Mirvac (MGR) for our Active Growth Portfolio in July & August.

We own Blackstone (BX US) in our International Equities Portfolio, and if we had to highlight one diverse ‘go to’ global operation that will capture global trends, we’d highlight them.
