Article Abstract:
Net institutional investment in the UK property market is expected to rise in 1996, according to a survey by DTZ Debenham Thorpe Research. Some 60% of fund managers expect to raise or maintain their weighting in commercial property, while there will be fewer property disposals. Institutional fund managers predict that returns from property will reach 10.9% by the end of 1996, vs 5.6% for gilts and 8.4% for equities. However, only 62% plan to develop property in the coming 12 months, vs 72% in the previous survey.
