Why I Am Overweight In Properties

The reason I chose property investing after a foray into share investing is that the overall return-to-risk ratio was clearly better for me. I could access information about property markets that ordinary homeowners weren't even aware of. Since homeowners drive the market, I was ahead of them in terms of knowledge so I could outperform the average property growth rates.

On the other hand, the fund managers who drive the share market had access to information I couldn't obtain, so it was hard for me just to keep pace with the MSCI World Index. And of course there was always greater volatility and uncertainty in the stock market.
