57. Conclusion
● Global property is a great diversifier
● Currency
● Income, regions and sectors
● Upside risk
● Earnings profile has bottomed
● Physical property cap rates comfortably above bond yields
● Limited supply of new properties
● Low funding costs
● Downside risk
● Lower than expected GDP growth (recession) leading to lower rental growth and rising vacancies
● Global markets volatility
● Yield
● We are looking at USD income (yield) of 3.9% in 2013
● Global market consensus for total returns is 10% to 15% in USD in 2013
