| The Performance Gap in UK Property Returns
Abstract:
The paper analyzes the historical performance of UK direct property, taking into account the magnitude and timing of capital flows in and out of a number of property market segments. Using historical return data over the time period 1981-2009 this paper shows that there is performance gap between the return that properties achieve and what investors get.
