This study analyses the investment performance and effectiveness of risk diversification between M-REITs’ and S-REITs’ by comparing their respective Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio and Jensen’s Alpha including the diversification measures (unsystematic risk divided by total risk and one-minus R squared) calculated on each REITs. The study period for M-REITs’ extends from 2007 to 2016 and for S-REITs’ from 2002 to 2016. Results shows that M-REITs’ perform better than S-REITs’ in terms of Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio, and Jensen’s Alpha. Total risk of S-REITs’ are higher than M-REITs’. The Beta values for both M-REITs’ and S-REITs’ are less than one, implying that both categories of REITs are less risky than the market index. M-REITs’ have lower R-Squared values than S-REITs’, which suggests that M-REITs’ are poorly diversified than S-REITs’ and therefore, M-REITs’ have more diversification opportunities. The diversification measures computed for M-REITs’ are higher than S-REITs’ and would imply that M-REITs’ have better rate of returns if M-REITs’ diversify their risk (higher risk diversification benefits). The findings from this study aims to help investors to make better investment decision when investing in M-REITs’ and S-REITs’. Top and poor performers of M-REITs’ and S-REITs’ are determined in this study. The findings from this study aims to assist investors determine better investment decisions when considering investing in M-REITs’ and S-REITs’.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
