Investors have long-sought after real estate for price appreciation, inflation protection and diversification.

There are a variety of ways to access real estate, including the private route, direct investment in brick-and-mortar properties, debt investments backed by real estate, publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and securities, and securitised fixed income instruments. Arguably the most optimal approach is to combine these approaches’ complementary benefits by following what CBRE terms as the ‘Four Quadrants’ approach.
