Why is it important?
Although the relationship between risk and returns has been largely studied in the finance field, still there is a gap in REIT literature about the relation between REIT return volatility and the use of TRS’s.
Perspectives
In spite of the fact that TRS-REITs’ portfolio is riskier than non-TRS-REITs, its assets can be easier converted to cash without affecting to much its prices. When S & P500 is used as benchmark the TRS-REITs’ portfolio requires a larger number of securities to obtain similar levels of diversification as non-TRS portfolio.
