Also REITs that specialize in residential and industrial property provide a good investment option in times of economic adversity since they all had a higher return compared with diversified REITs. REITs that invest in hotel, retail and office real estate are less attractive investment option in times of crisis. Investing in a diversified REIT, however, remains a safe choice since they are only significantly outperformed by health care REITs. Furthermore, the sudden drops in REIT stock prices which are caused by market sentiment creates investment opportunities for investors who follow the value added strategy. date: 2014 date_type: published thesis_type: master degree_programme: VG tutors_name: Marquard, A. keywords_local: Value added keywords_local: EMH keywords_local: Specialization keywords_local: Diversification keywords_local: REITs keywords_local: Recession language_iso: en titleorder: Trying to beat the market during a major economic downfall, the effects of the 2007 crisis on the returns of specialized and diversified REITs dbi: 54d1eab877245 imported_item: yes date_of_import: 2020-04-22 imported_from: http://scripties.frw.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/ma/VG/2014/ejgrootenhuis/ import_source_file: theses-frw-20200422132454-54d1eab877245.xml date_issued: 2014-01-01 citation: Grootenhuis, E.J.
