Real Estate Returns by Strategy: Have Value‐Added and Opportunistic Funds Pulled Their Weight?

Joseph L. Pagliari

Real Estate Economics, 2020, vol. 48, issue 1, 89-134

Abstract: Real estate strategies broadly fall into three categories: core, value‐added and opportunistic. This empirical examination of net returns from these three strategies indicates that, on a risk‐adjusted basis, the value‐added funds have strongly underperformed and the returns from opportunistic funds have weakly underperformed the returns available from core funds. In so concluding, this article departs from standard asset‐pricing models in two important respects: the total risk is used and the cost of borrowing increases as leverage increases. While the first departure has no substantive effect, the second departure lowers the estimate of the underperformance of noncore funds.
