Asian
investors are extremely positive about the outlook for real estate in
the region, according to AAA.
Boston,
MA, USA, December 18, 2012 -- Asian investors are extremely
positive about the outlook for real estate in the region, according
to Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).
The
alternative investment advocacy group was keen to endorse the
findings of the recent Colliers 2013 Global Investor Sentiment
Survey. The survey found that 70 per cent of Asian investors said
they planned to increase their investment in Asia and expand their
property portfolio. Some 41 per cent of those questioned about their
real estate investments said they expected to achieve returns
exceeding 20 per cent.
AAA's
analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, said "Return on investment
totalling 20 per cent is incredibly strong, suggesting that real
estate in the emerging regions of Asia, such as China and India, is a
really great investment for those looking to diversify their
portfolios with an alternative investment."
The
survey of Asian investors also discovered that 69 per cent of them
expect that market conditions in real estate will improve even
further in the coming five years, with only 12 per cent expecting the
market to decline. There were, however, a few concerns. Some said
that it was still difficult to raise capital for real estate
investments, while others said that the economic conditions were
still a little unpredictable.
With
regards to the most popular cities to invest in property, the top
five were named as Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo.
The growing economies in China have prompted many investors to set
their sights on office developments in Central Business District
areas.
AAA
is a supporter of many kinds of alternative investments, but
specialises in endorsement of ethical options, like timberland
investment through firms like Greenwood
Management. Greenwood runs sustainably managed
plantations of non-native timbers in Brazil and Canada. Investors can
buy up their own sections of forest and see returns over the medium
term.
