Home > Global Property Securities - Adding Value

A world of listed property opportunities

Superior market knowledge, combined with a disciplined framework for investing, can deliver attractive returns from property.

Global Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
Why consider Global REITs in an investment portfolio?

• By applying a global property market strategy investors have a greater opportunity to earn higher returns due to the varying economic cycles and demand/supply conditions across countries.

• Investing in multiple properties across multiple markets can significantly reduce portfolio risk. 

• The ability for property managers to adjust rental leases with inflation means that real estate investment provides an effective hedge against inflation.

• Publicly listed real estate (via REITs structures) provide investors with a higher degree of liquidity and accessability than with direct property investment. 

Managing for Success
We believe that to successfully manage a global real estate investment portfolio you need to have a management structure that:

• promotes the exchange of information and ideas through a highly experienced and skilled investment team;

• utilises local knowledge and research to optimise geographical coverage; and 

• utilises proprietary systems and analytical capabilities to provide independent views of property markets (both listed and private real estate).

ING Investment Management utilises the security selection skills of ING Clarion Real Estate Securities (ING CRES), a specialist manager of global REITs. ING CRES is one of the largest and most experienced global listed property portfolio managers in the world.
