註釋Derivates on a property index offer a great opportunity to diversify a real estate portfolio quickly and cost effectively. Property investors can use derivatives to expand or reduce the allocation in certain markets and sectors. Property index derivatives allow investors to change synthetically and quickly country allocations in their portfolios. Overall, derivatives on property indices decrease effectively the illiquidity of property as asset class. Therefore derivates make asset classes comparable - also between national boundaries - and will contribute to professional property portfolio management. A well-functioning market for property derivatives helps to diversify investment markets. This contribution sets out the different types of property derivatives, potential underlying indices and recent developments. Furthermore, the license agreements and the perspective for derivatives are discussed. Other markets demonstrate the great potential for property index derivatives. For example, derivatives on coal exist since 1998. At that time, investors traded derivatives for nominal one million tons of that resource. Until 2003, the derivatives volume increased to nominal 250 million tons, only to grow further to 2,000 million tons of coal by now. Hence, the dealing in coal derivatives is five times bigger than the real physical coal trade to date. The dealing in derivatives may even increase further as some oil markets show where the trading in derivatives is 15 times as big as the real transaction volume. Consequently, it is expected that property index derivatives might also experience a phenomenal growth in the near future.
