Uses of Property Derivatives
Property Derivatives provide the investor with the ability to:
- Gain or reduce exposure to the property market.
- Hedge a current position in the physical assets.
- Change the composition of a portfolio quickly, i.e. switch out of Retail property and into Industrial.
- Speculate on the property market
All of these objectives can be achieved without having to transact in physical property; synthetic real estate.

Famous quotes containing the word property:
“Crimes increase as education, opportunity, and property decrease. Whatever spreads ignorance, poverty and, discontent causes crime.... Criminals have their own responsibility, their own share of guilt, but they are merely the hand.... Whoever interferes with equal rights and equal opportunities is in some ... real degree, responsible for the crimes committed in the community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
