Enable’s IFA’s of Bishop’s Stortford know that property should be part of most investment portfolios in some form. Recently UK property has been regaining popularity with investors as an asset class but with a wide range of both open and closed-ended funds available it’s interesting to note which type of vehicle has been delivering the best performance for investors?
The IMA Property sector currently features 13 funds with a focus on UK bricks and mortar. Performance for the overall sector, which also includes funds investing in property outside of the UK market, has reached 6.89 per cent year to date.
The best performing Oeic year to date, and the only UK bricks and mortar fund to outperform the broader IMA sector, is the £792m Standard Life Investments UK Property fund which has returned 7.38 per cent since the start of this year.
This is followed by the Scottish Widows Investment Partnership Property Trust, which is the largest open-ended UK property fund at £3.03bn, with returns totaling 6.38 per cent.
The second largest UK property fund, the £3bn M&G Property Portfolio also proved the third top-performing fund so far in 2014 after returns reached 6.33 per cent year to date.
The worst performing open-ended vehicles year to date have been the Old Mutual Property and the £1.9bn Henderson UK Property funds which have both returned 5.03 per cent to investors since the start of the year. If you are wondering what part property should plan in your portfolio Enable’s IFAs are here to help.
