In this month’s wealth pipeline we will endeavour to explain in layman terms some of the common terminology and acronyms in the world of investments.  As is often the case, each industry has its own jargon which once explained is never as difficult as we first believe.

A common investment debate is residential property versus listed equities (shares).

 Over certain periods of time residential property will outperform equities and vice versa but in the long run they are correlated.  We believe they are generally correlated because ultimately residential property values are determined by wealth and income levels and the best proxy for wealth and income levels is the equities market.
