Is it wise to invest in overseas real estate?

Overseas real estate plays an important role in many overseas investment methods. Relevant surveys show that the rich have higher demand for asset preservation than for more profits. With the increasing number of high-net-worth individuals in the world, global asset allocation and diversification of investment risks have gradually become more and more common investment choices under the background of global economic integration, and overseas real estate occupies the most important position among many overseas investment methods.

Boston Consulting Group: The annual return rate of global real estate in the past five years is 9.2%.

The latest report "The Rise of Alternative Assets and Long-term Investment" issued by Boston Consulting Group points out that real estate, as an "alternative asset", provides attractive returns, and its overall return composition includes very stable cash returns. According to MSCI's IPD real estate index, the average annual rate of return of global real estate in the past five years is 9.2%, and the average annual rate of return in the past 10 years is 6.4%.

As a typical representative of long-term investment, overseas real estate can generate highly stable and sustainable cash flow in a long period of time, although its rate of return is not as good as that of private equity, funds and other assets, and it also has the characteristics of high value preservation and strong anti-inflation ability. Although the total return of global real estate investment fluctuates year by year, its cash return has been very stable, maintaining at around 5%. Even in the financial crisis, it hardly had a substantial impact on cash returns. Therefore, for high-net-worth investors who pursue stable income and have minimum return requirements, overseas real estate is undoubtedly the first choice for asset allocation.

Dtz: 20 16 China's overseas real estate investment increased by 49%.

According to the Report of China Overseas Investment Market in the Fourth Quarter of 20 16 by the Research Department of dtz, the total overseas real estate investment in China reached a new high in 20 16, reaching US$ 38.3 billion, an increase of 49% compared with 20 15. Among them, the United States is the preferred destination for China investors, with a total investment of US$ 654.38+0.83 billion, more than four times that of 2065.438+05.

According to the data, among the overseas investment destinations in China in 20 16, the three regions with the highest total investment were the United States, Hong Kong and Australia, and the five regions with the largest transaction volume were Australia, the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and Canada. Therefore, domestic investors prefer real estate in the United States, Australia and Britain.

In this regard, a spokesman for the marketing department of Australia Bank said, "Generally speaking, investors' pursuit of real estate in the United States, Britain and Australia is related to the stable and excellent investment environment in such countries. In addition, macro policies and situations will also have an impact on investment tendency. For example, the election of Trump, an American real estate businessman, as president of the United States will undoubtedly bring more favorable policies to the housing market. Another example is that the pound is low and it is more cost-effective to invest in British real estate. " "On the other hand, under the expectation that the income of various domestic assets will continue to decline, and under the current situation of global diversified investment, the demand for overseas real estate investment is bound to remain strong at 20 17. "
