In the current investment landscape, investment portfolios that are limited to standard exposures of popular asset classes may fall short in providing the diversification and returns required for most investors to help meet their long-term goals. As a result, TD continues to stress the importance of thinking outside of the traditional fixed income and equity box to access a greater variety of exposures and factors in order to improve the risk and return profile of investment portfolios. One way of accomplishing this is by building and adding real estate to a portfolio. Real estate assets can provide a number of strategic benefits to investors over a full market cycle including increased diversification, strong income generation and inflation protection.
