NEW YORK, May 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As investors and advisors literally scour the world for returns, the largest investment asset class is frequently overlooked. While commercial real estate is huge, it's commonly left out of portfolios. This is particularly ironic because commercial real estate has proven itself as an asset class that delivers high yield, low volatility, low correlations and excellent transparency.
In an effort to help advisors guide their clients in this area, National Underwriter has released the only single-volume, A-Z guide on the topic, The Advisor's Guide to Commercial Real Estate Investment. This professional resource is the latest addition to National Underwriter's popular Advisor's Guide series.
"Everyone everywhere is searching for yield and commercial real estate delivers it. As thousands upon thousands of baby boomers enter retirement, they are looking for income-generating investments. The great thing about commercial real estate is that it yields relatively high income and total return with low volatility. This sort of guide has been needed for quite some time, and I'm proud that we're the first to get it out there," said lead author, David J. Lynn, Ph.D.
"This book is written by an all-star team of professionals from the commercial real estate arena. We are extraordinarily lucky to have them all, and each one contributed their exclusive insights from his or her own specialization," said Rick Kravitz, Vice President & Managing Director, Professional Publishing Division. "Advisors everywhere will benefit from the expertise that is contained in this extraordinary, single-volume guide. When you see all of this together in one place, it's quite powerful."
David J. Lynn added, "We've gone to great lengths to make this resource accessible, practical and readily applicable so advisors can use it as a "go-to" manual to help their clients achieve high returns within the largest asset class in the world."
With numerous charts, graphs and other visuals, The Advisor's Guide to Commercial Real Estate Investment will enable advisors to master key concepts quickly.
This book also addresses a massive structural change that has been happening for decades but accelerating since the Great Recession—the shift from defined benefit plans (DB) to defined contribution plans (DC). Defined contribution plans are roughly $10.7 trillion versus less than $2 trillion for defined benefit plans. In other words, DB plans are shrinking while DC plans are growing rapidly. Advisors have been, and will increasingly be, managers of this pool of money, and more and more of this capital will have to go into income-producing alternatives such as commercial real estate.
The company also notes that all the authors deliver tested guidance that is not theoretical. "It's all immediately applicable to what advisors need to do right now to make their clients successful in commercial real estate, which has proven itself to be one of the safest, high-yield, income-generating options out there. Advisors can put this guide to use the second they get it," said Kravitz.
Anyone interested can try The Advisor's Guide to Commercial Real Estate Investment, risk-free for 30 days, with a 100% guarantee of complete satisfaction.
