Adding REITs to stock / bond --> higher return --> marginally lower sd --> higher sharpe ratio Adding direct real estate investment to stock / bond --> lower return --> significantly lower sd --> higher sharpe ratio

going long a pay-fixed swap will lower your portfolio duration, while going long a pay-floating swap will increase your portfolio duration. Real estate total return = capital return + income return capital employed = BMV + sum of time weighted CFs capital return = (EMV - BMV + Sales - CapEx) / Capital employed income return = (income - NR expenses - prop taxes - interest) / Capital employed

Anything with Standard Deviation as an input is NOT an appropriate measure if data series is NOT normally distributed!!!

what is the error?

for a domestic investor, currency risk is about half the risk of foreign stocks and about twice the risk of foreign bonds.

To clarify, Capital Employed for real estate caluclations = Initial Contribution + the sum of weighted CFs over the period Information ratio = Info Coefficient * sqr rt (# of decisions) IC measures depth of knowledge # of decisions measures investor breadth 4 types of taxes you might face on individual IPS are income, capital gains, wealth transfer, and property.

There are four main reasons not to trade bonds - “please stop bothering susan” please = Portfolio constraints stop = story disagreements bothering = buy and hold susan = seasonality the first one is the biggest cause of inefficiency in bond markets

There are eight main reasons to trade bonds - “really can cook, no salt you say?” really = relative value pick up can = credit upside cook = credit defence no = new issue trades salt = secot-rotation trades you = yield curve pickups say? = structure trades relative value pick up is the biggest reason
