We examine the market for U.S. equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) for evidence of the volatility effect, in which low volatility stocks tend to outperform high volatility ones, as has been found in the general equity market by prior research. While there is some evidence of a volatility effect in the first ten years of the sample, this disappears in a more recent time period. Furthermore, we test the efficacy of low risk portfolio construction techniques and find that none perform any better than a market cap weighted portfolio ¡V although they are also no worse ¡V over any of the time periods examined. Thus, there is no evidence that using a risk-based portfolio design that emphasizes low volatility would improve portfolio performance for a REIT allocation.

A healthy real estate finance system is crucial for any economy to grow and thrive. However, in recent years, the sustainability and soundness of the Malaysian Real Estate Finance System had been in question as the number of non-performing property loans had been on the rise. This paper looks into how property NPLs originate within the real estate finance system in Malaysia and its current performance in Malaysia. A descriptive research design was conducted utilizing in-depth case studies of Malaysia to examine Malaysia’s real estate finance system consisting of loan originators in the primary market and the special purpose vehicle involved at the secondary mortgage market where it was found that the Malaysian Real Estate Finance System is efficiently developed and on par with other developed countries with a robust primary mortgage market, effective secondary mortgage market and a vibrant capital market. Further analysis found that there are a total of 57 financial institutions that are property loan originators in Malaysia that consists of 26 Commercial Banks, 16 Islamic Banks, 2 International Islamic Banks, 11 Investment Banks, and 2 Special Financial Institutions. In terms of NPLs in Malaysia, property loans are the largest component of total NPLs in the country, and subsequent analysis found that the number of property NPLs in the country had been rising since 2015, after a long decade decline. This study warrants further research into the causes of property NPLs in the country so that the causes of property NPLs can be monitored as part of the country's strategic monetary policy to control and reduce the number of property NPLs in the country. Ultimately, this also helps to contribute towards a sound and robust real estate finance system in Malaysia.

The Empirical Analysis

Abstract Robo-advisers enable investors to establish an automated rebalancing strategy for a portfolio usually consisting of stocks and bonds. Since households’ portfolios additionally include further frequently tradable assets like real estate funds, articles of great value and cash(-equivalents), we analyze whether households would benefit from a service that automatically rebalances a portfolio which additionally includes the latter assets. In contrast to previous studies, this paper relies on real-world household portfolios, which are derived from the German central bank’s (Deutsche Bundesbank) Panel on Household Finances (PHF)-Survey. We compute the portfolio performance increase/decrease that households would have achieved by employing rebalancing strategies instead of a buy-and-hold strategy in the period from September 2010 to July 2015 and analyze whether subsamples of households with certain sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics would have benefited more from portfolio rebalancing than other household subsamples. The empirical analysis shows that the analyzed German households would not have benefited from an automated rebalancing service and that no subgroup of households would have significantly outperformed another subgroup in the presence of rebalancing strategies.

AbstractThere are opportunities but also worrisome trends as AI is applied in finance, insurance, and real estate. In these domains, persons are increasingly assessed and judged by machines. The financial technology (Fintech) landscape ranges from automation of office procedures, to new approaches for storing and transferring value, to the granting of credit. The Fintech landscape can be separated into “incrementalist Fintech” and “futurist Fintech.” Incrementalist Fintech uses data, algorithms, and software to complement professionals who perform traditional tasks of existing financial institutions. It promises financial inclusion, but this inclusion can be predatory, creepy, and subordinating. These forms of financial inclusion undermine their solvency, dignity, and political power of borrowers. Futurist Fintech’s promoters claim to be more equitable, but are likely to falter in their aspiration to substitute technology for key financial institutions. When used to circumvent or co-opt state monetary authorities, both incrementalist and futurist Fintech expose deep problems at the core of the contemporary digitization of finance.

This article is an excerpt from the master's research related to a Didactic Engineering with the theme of Constant Amortization System and French Amortization System for the development of didactic situations related to the content of Higher Education Financial Mathematics, and which allows the use of the HP 12C financial calculator emulator. Currently, these amortization systems are being used by Brazilian financial institutions for real estate financing. The objective was to investigate how students of Administration and Accounting apply the mathematical knowledge of amortization in situations by using financial calculators. The methodological approach followed the Didactic Engineering steps, both for the construction of the didactic sequence and for its application and validation. The results indicate that the elaborated didactic sequence contributed to the development of the proposed mathematical content, as well as handling and the ways of dealing with the financial calculators in situations involving the amortization calculations.

Abstract Investment portfolios have become one of the important investment tools in modern society, due to the large number of people turning to them to invest their money through them, and because of the huge capital, they carry. This paper aims to explain the jurisprudential issues related to how to pay zakat on investment portfolios. This paper dealt with zakat in the financial assets’ portfolio consisting of stocks, bonds, and currencies, as well as what is related to the in-kind assets’ portfolio of commodities, real estate, and metals. As for the approach used in this paper, it is the deductive approach and the analytical method by relying on secondary sources of scientific research by reviewing the jurisprudential heritage and analyzing the aforementioned jurisprudential sayings on how to pay zakat for investment portfolios. However, the paper also relied on the decisions issued by the Islamic Fiqh Academy of the Muslim World League, and the standards of the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI). Moreover, the study concluded that investment portfolios are subject to zakat according to the net zakat assets therein. Therefore, this paper recommends zakat institutions and specialized bodies to work in activating the role of zakat in all investment sectors. Also, this paper recommended the continuation of Shariah studies, especially by the scientific bodies and jurisprudence councils, in the field of modern investments, establishing them and linking them to the jurisprudential heritage. Keywords: Zakat, Investment portfolios, Shariah.
