Real Estate Correlations

PIREX Fund  USD 26.26  0.07  0.27%   
The correlation of Real Estate is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Real Estate moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Real Estate Securities moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to Real Estate could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Real Estate when you sell it. If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back Real Estate - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling Real Estate Securities to buy it.

Already Invested in Real Estate Securities?

The danger of trading Real Estate Securities is mainly related to its market volatility and Mutual Fund specific events. As an investor, you must understand the concept of risk-adjusted return before you start trading. The most common way to measure the risk of Real Estate is by using the Sharpe ratio. The ratio expresses how much excess return you acquire for the extra volatility you endure for holding a more risker asset than Real Estate. The Sharpe ratio is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. To understand how volatile Real Estate Securities is, you must compare it to a benchmark. Traditionally, the risk-free rate of return is the rate of return on the shortest-dated U.S. Treasury, such as a 3-year bond.

Please note, there is a significant difference between Real Estate's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Real Estate is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Real Estate's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
