Download or read book The Effect on Portfolio Performance of Diversification Into Socially Responsible Investments written by Siew Howe Wong and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : Socially responsible investment (SRI) has grown significantly in the last ten years. Many international organizations have become increasingly involved in the movement towards SRI. The move towards SRI investing is being driven by institutions such as the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investing whose membership of financial institutions, including asset owners and institutional investors, holds assets totalling US$13 trillion. This growth was promoted further by the 2006 launch of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), with an agreement by leading pension funds, asset managers and consultants to develop new strategies to embed environmental, social and governance issues (ESG-issues). The tremendous growth has caught the attention of investors and fund managers that are seeking alternative assets and markets to improve their portfolio performance. There are claims, based on recent evidence, that SRI can provide investors{u2019} portfolios with better returns. The thesis aims to investigate this claim. The thesis examines the effect of diversifying into SRI in terms of risks and returns from the perspective of an Australian investor, on the performance of a portfolio consisting of stocks and bonds. In examining this aim, the thesis first identifies and evaluates the performance of the optimal SRI portfolio which consists of Australian and international SRI assets. Subsequently, the thesis constructs an optimal portfolio consisting of stocks, bonds and SRI based on the identified SRI portfolio, whose performance is then examined. In pursuit of the objective, the thesis conducts three interconnected studies. Firstly, an analysis of the inter-linkages between the Australian and other SRI markets worldwide. Secondly, an examination of the impact of international diversification on the performance of SRI portfolios based on an Australian perspective. Thirdly, an investigation of the impact of diversification into SRI assets on the performance of a portfolio of stocks and bonds.

Download or read book Long Run International Diversification written by Thomas Conlon and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evidence for international diversification as a means to curtail portfolio risk relies predominantly on short-run data. In this paper, we examine the extent to which the risk reduction benefits of international investment hold in the long-run. Employing a multi-horizon non-parametric filter, we develop a long-run correlation estimator and exploit this to decompose the long-run inter-market relationship into short-run components. We observe raised correlations between international equity indices in the long-run. Investigating the economic significance for investors, we find the long-run benefits of international diversification to be attenuated. Increasing long-run correlation is modeled as a function of short-run data accounting for characteristics pervasive in financial time series. This indicates that perceived risk reduction benefits may be overstated using short-run data.

Book excerpt: Claim Your Share of Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Profits From Around the World Ever since so many private real estate companies converted themselves into Real Estate Investment Trusts and held IPOs in the mid-1990s, and with the publication of the first edition of Investing in REITs: Real Estate Investment Trusts by Ralph L. Block, U.S. investors have been discovering the high dividend yields possible through investing in commercial real estate through publicly owned companies. REITs do not have to pay taxes on the income they distribute to unit holders -- and the government requires them to distribute at least 90%! This means they pay out a lot more money than ordinary corporations (who have to pay corporate taxes). REITs are cash cows. What's not so well known is that countries all over the world have been following the lead of the United States and creating their own versions of Real Estate Investment Trusts. Nearly 40 countries from Australia to Turkey have laws enabling some form of REITs, using the US as a model but ringing their own changes. By investing in foreign REITs you can: 1. Have a stream of income that's not dependent on the US dollar (or euro, or yen, or whatever your currency of residence is). By investing in foreign REITs, you get income in a large variety of other currencies, which may be going up in value as the US dollar falls. The two largest, oldest and most mature REIT countries in the world behind the US are Canada and Australia. Which two countries in the world have recently seen the value of their currencies go up dramatically? Canada and Australia. But Canadians and Australians needs apartments, office buildings and shopping malls just like everyone else. By buying shares of their REITs, you can get yourself some Canadian and Australian dollars. Two other kinds of dollars are going up in value -- both from busy and booming Asian port cities -- Hong Kong and Singapore. And both Hong Kong and Singapore have some great Real Estate Investment Trusts. 2. Have a stream of income from economic activity that may be up while your local area is down. Most people's jobs are dependent upon their local economy. However, when business is slow in your area, it may be great in Paris, Dubai or Kuala Lumpur. We also know that while the entire U.S. real estate market can be slow, real estate in other countries may still be booming. 3. Worldwide inflation protection Well run REITs will do all they can to increase their net incomes, including raise rents to keep up with inflation -- wherever they are located. Ever wanted to benefit from Japanese people paying rent for their apartments? Or from businesses paying for offices in prestigious districts of Paris? Or from tourists buying clothes in the trendy shops of Soho London? Or from jet setters tanning themselves at Mediterranean luxury resorts? Or from Australian wine vinyards? Or even from Bulgarian farmers renting land to grow wheat on? Or from drinkers having a pint in AB InBev's chain of European pubs? From the warehouses and shipping docks of China? Now you can! In the last chapter you learn the investments that you can tell your broker to buy for you to profit from REITs around the world. It's simple, easy and -- in this globalized world of international financial crises, a smart move to protect you and your family's wealth.
