This area explores the long-term performance and behaviour of alternative asset classes like real estate and commodities as well as collectable assets like art, wine and coins.
Drawing on the experience of long-run real estate finance and financial history, this project makes a contribution to understanding the performance of real estate over the long-run.
Collectibles are often regarded by investors, as investments against inflation. In their Financial Analysts Journal report “Investing in emotional assets”, Professor Elroy Dimson and Dr Christopher Spaenjers review the long-term investment performance of three important categories of emotional assets.
