Why should we expect retail real estate to be defensive? -- What is the evidence of defensiveness? -- Do all retail sub-sectors offer the same degree of defensiveness? -- Do all retail markets offer the same degree of defensiveness? -- What is the outlook? -- Conclusion
Appendices: USA shopping centre typology; real estate total returns
Looks at the fortunes of the retail real estate sector in the current economic downturn. Questions whether the market is responding defensively and suggests that certain sectors of the market are better placed to cope with the current period of flux than others. Closes by suggesting that it might expected that the more resilient countries in a consumer-led economic slowdown would be those where retail real estate returns are less cyclical and volatile relative to other sectors.
