Here is a hot investment tip for those wanting to place some bets in the UK... The RICS is setting up another generous chance to make some easy money. Especially those empty factories up for grabs -lol- ======================================================= Small investors 'target commercial property' ananova.com Commercial property could be the next target for small investors says the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. RICS says during the past 12 months commercial property has outperformed all other major assets, including gold and Government bonds. During the year to September investing in office blocks, shops and factories has produced a return of 9.9%, compared to one of 5.9% for gold, 9.1% for Government bonds and a loss of 20.8% for equities. Over a 10-year period commercial property's performance has also been strong, with returns of 186.2%, more than double the 83.7% returned by shares, and well up on gold's negative return of 4.7%. During the same period investors who put their money into Government bonds would have got a return of 141.9%. Milan Khatri, RICS chief economist, said: "In recent years, many investors have moved away from the stock market to residential property. "But recent RICS surveys have shown this market is becoming oversupplied and many of the larger serious investors are now looking elsewhere for opportunities. "Commercial property could well be the next opportunity."
