Abstract
REITs in Japan (J-REITs) are the largest REIT market in Asia and the 5th largest REIT market globally. To examine the attractiveness of J-REITs for investors, this paper assesses the significance, risk-adjusted performance and portfolio diversification benefits of J-REITs in a mixed-asset portfolio context in Japan over 2001-2011. Amongst the major asset classes, J-REITs delivered the best risk-adjusted returns and portfolio diversification benefits over 2001-2011, with enhanced risk-adjusted returns in the post-GFC period. Key strategic issues for the ongoing development of the J-REIT market are also identified.
