Why property is not a low-risk, passive investment

While property can be a viable investment, it is incorrect to believe that an investment property is less risky than a diversified portfolio of shares.I recently ran a survey on social media to understand what asset classes people invest in. The majority of women prefer property to investments such as unit trusts or exchange-traded funds, which are market related.

If you compare that with investing in a unit trust or exchange-traded fund – for as little as R500 a month you diversify across the world and can be invested in up to 1 000 large companies globally. The added benefit is that you do not have to do anything. You don’t have to manage tenants, there is no mortgage to pay and over time, you can build up a portfolio where you are earning dividend income. Investing in shares is not just about capital growth.
