\"\"<\/a>Prudential market experts were largely optimistic in their prognosis for the global economy during yesterday\u2019s annual forecast. Strategists from the fixed income, retirement, quantitative management, international investment and annuities groups predicted moderate growth despite some concerns\u2014mainly about oil prices, upcoming elections in Greece and Spain, the European Central Bank president\u2019s expected decision to begin quantitative easing on or around Jan. 22 and Japan\u2019s economic performance. They focused a lot on high-yield assets as the real investment opportunity today, which pretty much kept real estate out of the discussion.<\/p>\n

That is not to say they don\u2019t like real estate. In fact, they affirmed its continued presence on Prudential\u2019s list of Most Favored Asset Classes. And during an informal discussion after the panel session, Prudential Real Estate Investors Senior Portfolio Manager & Chief Investment Officer Marc\u00a0Halle, who oversees the company\u2019s REIT business, expressed great satisfaction with the sector\u2019s performance. No, it is no longer a high-yield vehicle, but that was never a realistic place for it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Edward Keon Jr., Michael Lillard, John Praveen, Quincy Krosby and Srinivas Reddy (l. to r.), with moderator Ron Insana<\/p><\/div>\n

So while, unlike in previous years, there was not a real estate expert on the panel, that may just make sense. After all, in an upcycle, with interest rates low, banks not overlending because they\u2019re not pressured to take risks, and real estate fundamentals fairly well balanced, as Halle noted, real estate is much less sensitive to economic shifts than it has been in recent years.<\/p>\n

Then again, there are fewer shifts taking place these days. With wage growth improving very slowly, confidence has yet to really take hold, and interest rates have been kept down \u201cnot because of growth but because of Europe and Japan,\u201d according to Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist for Prudential Annuities. But Edward Keon Jr., managing director & portfolio manager at Quantitative Management Associates, sees greater benefits than risks from falling oil prices and \u201cthe regime of low interest rates and liquidity is probably going to continue for some time.\u201d The result: \u201cWe are in a transition to a lower-return market across all asset classes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think boring is good. \u2026 Be patient and see how the Fed deals with this,\u201d Krosby added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
