Abstract

With an increased emphasis on international property investment and an improved economic outlook for Asia, Asian property companies potentially provide an important property investment opportunity for international property fund managers. Using an information transparency index, 180 property companies in 10 Asian countries are assessed over 1997-2003 for their levels of information transparency. Whilst information transparency is seen to be important, market capitalisation is seen to be more significantly associated with Asian property company out-performance. Investing more in the larger property companies than the smaller property companies in Asia is seen to be a more effective property investment strategy for international property fund managers over this period.
