UK Residential Index Fund
The creaky old aphorism ‘It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good’ is nowhere more true than in the City of London. Every market fall sees someone making money. Falling house prices are no exception, and the launch of Alpha Beta’s UK Residential Index Fund allows investors to hedge against falls in their property portfolios.
You’re effectively betting how much prices will fall … and profiting if you get it right. For the more daring, there are also spread bets available on house price falls. Big gains and big losses are to be had here, but they’re not for the naïve or cautious investor.
