Abstract

Examines the investment performance of Singapore real estate and property stocks over the past 25 years. Evaluations using coefficient of variation (CV), Sharpe index (SI) and time‐varying Jensen abnormal return index (JI) suggest that real estate outperformed property stocks on a risk‐adjusted basis. Results also indicate that risk‐adjusted investment performance for residential properties remained superior to performance for other real estate types and property stocks. Further analysis using time‐varying JI reveals that the excess return performance of property stocks could differ significantly from that of direct properties, and performance of property stock led real estate market performance. Finally, the performance implications arising from the study are evaluated.
