As the universe of products has expanded, so too has access to this important asset class. And it couldn’t have happened at a better time — real estate returns have been stellar over the last few years.
Real estate has also proven to be an excellent match for long-term liabilities at a time when bond yields are at historic lows.
In this roundtable discussion, experts share their views on the past, present and future of real estate in Canadian pension plans.
