Diversification benefits from New Zealand real estate
No full textAlthough the benefits of further diversifying a portfolio of New Zealand financial assets with unsecuritised New Zealand real estate have been confirmed in previous studies, this paper examines the benefits of further diversifying a portfolio by including rural grazing
property. Modern portfolio theory is used to determine the benefits of including rural property, as well as the traditional property investment assets, in a diversified investment portfolio based on New Zealand investment assets. In addition, efficient sets generated
with and without real estate are compared and found significant return enhancement and risk reduction benefits of adding retail property and farm real estate to the mix. These benefits are robust even when real estate return variance is increased sixfold or when real estate returns are reduced by 20 per cent, suggesting that real estate can reasonably be expected to be a consistent part of risk efficient portfolios
Role of farm real estate in a globally diversified asset portfolio
No full textPurpose - The paper examines the benefits of further diversifying a global portfolio of
financial assets with New Zealand farm real estate (FRE).
Design/methodology/approach - We compare efficient sets generated with and without
farm real estate using portfolio theory.
Findings - The results show that given the predominantly negative correlation between
FRE and financial assets, the risk-return tradeoffs of portfolios of financial assets can be
improved significantly. The diversification benefits measured in terms of risk reduction,
return enhancement, and improvement in the Sharpe performance ratios are robust under a
number of FRE risk-return scenarios as well as under high and low inflationary periods.
Using 5- and 10-year rolling periods we also find that FRE is a consistent part of risk
efficient portfolios. Consistent with the results reported in Lee and Stevenson (2006) for
UK real estate the risk reduction benefits of diversifying with FRE are larger than the risk
enhancement benefits.
Practical implication - The results suggest that FRE takes on a consistent role of riskreducer
rather than a return-enhancer in a globally diversified portfolio. FRE appears to
deserve more serious consideration by investment practitioners that it has been accorded in
the past.
Originality/value – The study examines the role of direct real estate in a globally
diversified portfolio of financial assets
Round dancing,
No full textGilbert, a well-known dancing master, notes that his book will deal only with round dances, and for other dances or rules of etiquette, the reader should turn elsewhere. After a brief discussion of the positions of the feet, the author discusses, in some length, the waltz position. The manual gives the directions for a large number of waltz, polka, galop, redowa, and mazurka variations--many of which are not described in other contemporary dance literature
Scattering Theory of Gilbert Damping
No full textThe magnetization dynamics of a single domain ferromagnet in contact with a thermal bath is studied by scattering theory.We recover the Landau-Liftshitz-Gilbert equation and express the effective fields and Gilbert damping tensor in terms of the scattering matrix. Dissipation of magnetic energy equals energy current pumped out of the system by the time-dependent magnetization, with separable spin-relaxation induced bulk and spin-pumping generated interface contributions. In linear response, our scattering theory for the Gilbert damping tensor is equivalent with the Kubo formalism.Kavli Institute of NanoscienceApplied Science
