Download or read book Tracking Property Performance in Japan Through REIT based Pure play Property Return Indices written by Fan Li (S. M.) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis constructed unlevered pure-play property return indices based on stock prices of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in Japan. These indices are developed as a prototype of a new type of tool to track unlevered property investment performance by property usage type (sector) and geographical region. In the process of constructing the pure-play indices, this thesis is innovative in applying a structural time series trend approach, in addition to the traditional least squares approach. From the indices, we are able to identify that properties held by J-REITs properties achieve higher returns, as evaluated by the stock market, compared with non-REIT-held properties, as evaluated by the private property market. This result is aligned with our observation of the advantage of J-REITs in acquiring properties that are newly developed, of better quality, or located in submarkets with higher demand; as well as possibly superior REIT management of property operation and maintenance. The sector-region segments that achieved higher return are also identified through these indices. By comparing the unlevered pure-play indices with the repeat sales based private property return indices, this thesis found that the price discovery process occurs in the public market (J-REIT market) in Japan, that is, major market turning points appeared first in the stock market based valuations, later echoed in the private market prices. However, unlike other countries that have been previously studied, the stock market based real estate valuations in Japan displayed a smaller downturn during the Global Financial Crisis. This would be consistent with J-REIT investors being more disciplined facing downturns, more focused on the long run value of the properties compared to private property market investors.
Download or read book Japan Real Estate Investment written by M. A. Hines and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-02-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From long personal experience, research, and private conversations with international real estate investors, analysts, and marketing executives, Dr. Hines identifies succinctly and precisely the differences between investing in Japanese real estate and real estate elsewhere--the crucial differences, plus the risks and hazards that real estate professionals must know and understand. She shows that the new Japanese economic environment is having its affect on real estate there, how foreign investors are influencing the value of property and the systems to analyze it, and why the financing of real estate in Japan through loan and equity securitization is on the rise. Real estate professionals will be particularly interested in her coverage of commercial and residential property, while specialists with other interests will also get an unusual view of Japanese urban planning, land development, and tenure changes over time, information that is rarely available in English. Dr. Hines focuses on the Tokyo metropolitan area and on office buildings and shopping centers, in general but she also covers residential and industrial property investment across Japan. Readers will get a quick view of the new investment climate and aspects of economic, cultural, governmental, and environmental change in Japan. She gives a brief history of Japanese land tenure and views current land planning and control from a historical perspective. For real estate professionals there are chapters on leasing, marketing, land development, and construction, and she delineates the differences between Japanese real estate appraisal and international valuation methods and practices. Also noted is the increased use of income capitalization methods. Dr. Hines examines differences between Japanese and international real estate investment methods of analysis, particularly in light of Japanese real estate financing and taxation. She also illustrates the imputed interest charge methods of investment analysis and gives special emphasis to internationally approved discounted cash flow analysis. Finally, the book examines the trend toward real estate securitization and shows how banks and other financial institutions are reducing their real estate lending and restructuring themselves to prepare for a new era of economic reform.
Download or read book JREITs written by Michael Murray Pierce and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2001 the Japanese real estate industry marked a new era of real estate investments by issuing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange the first Japan Real Estate Investment Trust (JREIT). The initial JREIT performance was not so impressive. Now, as the Japanese economy continues to recover and more investors are looking to real estate securitization as a means of limiting balance sheet liability and increase real estate investment liquidity, the JREIT is becoming a popular investment vehicle. On the surface the public securitization of real estate seems a great opportunity for the average investor to participate in real estate investment while keeping liquidity. What is the real story behind the JREIT: Are the assets in the JREIT overpriced? Is the race to issue new JREITs forming a price bubble in the Tokyo central business district? Is the JREIT a safe investment, or it just a way for real estate firms to pass off the associated risks of overpriced real estate? This paper will consider the status of the Japanese economy, the real estate industry, and the JREIT market from its beginnings to current levels.

Download or read book The Joint Distributions of Japanese REIT and Equity Markets written by Charles Shaw and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We employ a little-used dataset to study the Japan's Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) market. We make use of copula theory and test for dependence between equity and REIT returns using several popular copula families. The copula families in our specification were: Gaussian, Student-t, Clayton, Frank, and Gumbel. The p-values were computed using parametric bootstrap replications. We motivate the argument presented, and provide the goodness-of-fit test results based on the Rosenblatt transform. We find that the dependence between the innovations of JREIT Composite and JREIT Office returns can be modelled by a Student-t copula with 2.7 degrees of freedom and correlation parameter v = 0.93. All other models are rejected. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first time that copula theory has been applied to study REITs in Japan.
Download or read book Credit Risk Assessment in Real Estate Investment Trusts written by Masayasu Kanno and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses the credit risk of Japan's real estate investment trusts (J-REITs) in two related markets during the fiscal years 2008--2017. The first J-REIT market involves blockholders, while the second is a lending market of institutions (i.e., banks and insurers). Unlike investment trusts, a J-REIT is an investment security issued by an investment corporation and thus has corporate credit risk. Consequently, a J-REIT's sponsor, as well as its financial variables, has a substantial effect on the investment corporation's credit risk. A sponsor's probability of default is a leading indicator of its investment corporation's default and double default probability acts as a coincident indicator of default. Network analysis indicates that some network centralities are proxies for funding liquidity via blockholding and lending networks. Rather than increases in other types of degrees, an increase in the degree of an investment corporation's lending in the lending network explains a decrease in a J-REIT's credit risk.
Download or read book The Reits Real Estate Investment Trusts written by Kim Hin David Ho and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2021-11-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1 examines the significance of ‘green’ buildings on the operational and financial performance of REITs. The Chapter covers different direct real estate sectors, namely office, retail and residential, for the REITS concerned to evaluate the consistency of the results. Chapter 2 looks at the risk neutral and non-risk neutral pricing of real estate investment trusts in Singapore (S-REITs), via comparing the average of the individual ratios (of deviation between expected and observed closing price/observed closing price), with the ratio (of standard deviation/mean) for closing prices, via the binomial options pricing tree model. Chapter3 highlights that while the Markowitz portfolio theory (MPT) is popular in modern finance to model portfolios with maximum total returns (TRs) for a given systematic risk, the more flexible multivariate copula model is introduced that enables investors and portfolio managers to obtain the optimal portfolio. Chapter 4 looks at a value investing framework, in which a REIT and real estate comany investment operation is deemed to be one, where a “thorough analysis”, should promise the safety of a principal and an adequate total return. Chapter 5 examines the market reactions of Malaysia’s listed property trusts and property common stocks to corporate restructuring activities – direct real estate asset acquisitions and new listings. Chapter 6 reports the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) consultations with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) and the Ministry of Finance (MOF), to introduce the Income Tax Act (ITA) amendments, and a new temporary relief measure for real estate investment trusts (REITs) in Singapore. The Chapter also looks at the proposal by the Asian Public Real Estate Association (APREA) to the MAS, to create a private REIT structure Chapter 7 looks at the key issues and notes on the valuation of the public real estate investment trusts (REITs) and the real estate companies, adopting several valuation metrics to value REITs on a stand-alone and a relative basis. Chapter 8 looks at the unique Asian REIT institutional environment, pertaining to the S-REIT, while cross referencing it to that of the CapitaMall Trust (S-CMT) and the Hong Kong HK- Link REIT. Chapter 9 summarises the book’s findings and highlights the contributions and recommendations made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2007 Article IV Consultation highlights that Japan’s external position remains strong. Boosted by investment income, the current account surplus widened in 2006 to nearly 4 percent of Japan’s GDP, despite a shrinking trade balance. Financial outflows also picked up, reflecting mainly the secular decline in investor home bias and to a lesser extent, yen-financed carry trades. The near-term economic outlook is favorable. GDP growth is projected at 2.6 percent in 2007 and 2.0 percent in 2008. With activity close to full capacity, CPI inflation is expected to pick up, but very slowly.
