A comparison of property versus shares and how to find the right
mix for a profitable portfolio
Almost every investor eventually considers the question: which
is the better investment, property or shares? The answer isn’t as
simple as one or the other, since both asset classes offer
different benefits and risks. And if the best answer is a mix of
the two, how do you strike the right balance for sustained returns?
This book takes an unbiased look at these two asset classes,
explaining the risks and benefits of each, dispelling stubborn
myths, and giving you the facts you need to find what’s best
for you and your portfolio. Offering a point-by-point comparison of
shares versus property, this easy-to-read guide argues that a
combined strategy is smartest and safest for most investors. It
then goes on to give you the information you need to tailor your
portfolio to your own level of acceptable risk versus desired
reward.
