Recent market volatility affecting the listed property sector has refocused investors on where best to get their property exposure, and the potential merits of holding direct property investment vehicles.

At this year’s PortfolioConstruction Conference (August 27-28), Matthew Chun, chief investment officer with Becton Investment Management, will present a research paper that examines the current macroeconomic drivers affecting the domestic property sector, while also reflecting on its broader performance over the past 20 years, at an asset class level.

He’ll discuss direct property’s ongoing relevance in portfolio construction for both income and growth, and focus on the key attributes to consider when combining unlisted property with other asset classes.

Research papers from the PortfolioConstruction Conference will be available in the August edition of Money Management’s Technical Adviser.

Now in its seventh year, PortfolioConstruction Conference has earned a reputation as the investment conference of the year. To register, go to http://www.PortfolioConstruction.com.au/Conference
