Abstract:
Understanding Commercial Property Investment: A Guide For Financial Advisers

Do you know the top performing asset class over 3, 5 and 10 years?
Are your clients looking to diversify risk in their portfolios?
Which asset class delivers stable and relatively high income yield?
Which products give your clients access to these attributes?

Recent equity market conditions and current issues in the pension industry have combined to produce widespread interest from individuals wishing to invest in commercial property. This interest has been recognised by the growing number of financial institutions and other product providers now devising commercial property funds targeted at individual investors.

If you’d like to offer advice to your clients on these products, you know you need to understand the attributes of commercial property as an investment class and the mechanics of the market. An overview of the commonly available product structures is also crucial, not to mention insights into some of the associated risks, the tax implications and regulatory considerations.

Recognising the need to provide financial advisers with access to information like this from a reliable and unbiased source, the Investment Property Forum has commissioned a guide to commercial property investment. Funded by the three leading property industry bodies (Investment Property Forum Educational Trust, British Property Federation and RICS) and prepared by Seven Dials Consulting with input from Deloitte & Touche (tax) and Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Mawe (legal and regulatory), the guide is essential reading for any adviser.
