Aekkachai Nittayakasetwat and Jiroj Buranasiri

Abstract—This study investigates Thai property funds’ in-depth diversification ability during 2003 and 2011 by applying Sharpe asset allocation method. The equally weighted property fund portfolio is built and replicated by a portfolio built from12 asset classes including government’s short term bills, government’s intermediate-term bonds, government’s long-term bonds, corporate bonds, property sector stock Index, large capitalization value socks, large capitalization growth stocks, medium-capitalization stocks, small-capitalization stocks, non-Thai market bond index, developed market stock index and emerging market stock. The result shows that Thai property funds’ behavior is exposed to corporate bond (60%), medium-capitalization stock (21%) and small-capitalization stock (10%). However, the analysis also indicates that the equally weighted property fund portfolio is made up of style component by only 47%. There exists a unique characteristic of property funds which could not be found from other asset classes. The existence of property funds allows investors to further eliminate diversifiable risk in their portfolio.

Index Terms—Equally weighted property fund portfolio, large-capitalization value socks, large-capitalization growth stocks, medium-capitalization stocks.
