Abstract
The diversification benefits of listed property trusts (LPTs) in investment portfolios in Australia are assessed under different market conditions over 1980-2000. Correlations between LPTs and shares are shown to vary considerably, with the correlation increasing significantly in down-market conditions. This increased correlation between LPTs and shares is also linked to increased LPT and stock market volatility. This highlights the need to consider market conditions when considering asset allocations and the level of LPTs in investment portfolios. Given the considerable growth and maturity in LPTs since 1990, LPTs were also seen to retain their portfolio diversification benefits with increased stock market volatility in the 1990’s, compared to the potential loss of some of these portfolio diversification benefits in the 1980’s.
