Paper title: Cycles in Office Returns: Stockholm As Case Study & International Comparisons
Authors: Key, Tony; Gustafsson Christina; Aronsson Ylva; Franson Joakim
Summary: Long-run series on realised investor returns suggest that offices tend to show poor risk-adjusted returns relative to other property market sectors. The paper is an empirical test of the performance of the dominant office markets in four countries ñ UK, Ireland, Sweden and France ñ against alternative property investments in each country. The choice of countries for analysis is determined by the availability of portfolio-based returns series running back over a sufficient period to identify long-run returns characteristics. The comparisons show that in all four countries the cores of the office markets in the dominant financial centres have produced risk-adjusted returns inferior to those in other office markets, and other market sectors. On this evidence, the offices in major centres present the largest anomaly ñ running against the standard theories on risk-return trade off ñ in property investment performance. It would appear that returns have been systematically poor in the most liquid and best informed segments of the market, and that investors have maintained high ñ in some countries rising ñ exposure to markets with historically weak performance.
