Over 80% of attendees attending our Investment Academy are property investors wanting to learn how to diversify properly.
On Day-1 they get an asset allocation tool to test how diversified their assets are. At that moment, it becomes clear about the need to be more diversified. The tool also reveals if you hold too much cash which – as we know – is getting destroyed right now.
It pays to be diversified into multiple assets for 3 reasons:
1) to reduce concentration in one asset class
2) to grow your capital and income more passively and
3) to reduce taxes
Shares v Property – Pros and Cons
Aside from returns (historically similar at 8-10% pa), both asset classes have their Pros, Cons and Similarities …
Shares are passive, tax-efficient and liquid. They pay income and have capital growth.
BUT .. they may feel more volatile and you can’t add value.
Property can be levered and it may be possible to add value. It pays income and has capital growth.
BUT .. you have to deal with tenants, maintenance, mortgages, regulations and tax.
Both pay regular income and both benefit from inflation via capital growth
A Smart Way to Own Property?
REITs exist so we can own property in a passive and tax-efficient way.
The benefits of REITs are:
- Passive and hassle-free – REITs are professionally managed
- A REIT owns Commercial or Resi property (some both) and you own shares in that REIT
- You can start with 1 share (costing £5!)
- The REIT earns rents which gets passed onto you – yields range between 3-8% pa
- When owning REITs in your ISA or Pension, all your income is TAX-FREE
- REITs have grown their rents & capital values over time, just like physical property
- Right now, some REITs are valued below their NAV (i.e. BMV)
REITs are another reason to invest in shares, alongside physical property.
