LEGEND OF THE DTZ CHARTS
The Fair Value Index is updated on a quarterly basis and always looks five years ahead. It includes a comparison of the expected return over a five-year period with the riskadjusted demanded return, the return that investors expect on the basis of current interest rates, premium surcharges, and similar conditions.
The DTZ Fair Value Index classifies markets according to their attractiveness for investors based on current pricing. Undervalued markets are classified as HOT, as they offer investors attractive buying opportunities. Overvalued markets are classified as COLD; in this case DTZ estimates that these markets will underperform in the coming years. Markets that are fairly priced are classified as WARM.
This way the index determines whether an investment after five years will result in a higher, similar or lower return than the risk-adjusted rate of return for investing today in a commercial property. The Fair Value Index is compiled by DTZ Research in London but is based on data from local branches. The index is made for more than 200 markets worldwide and, like all of DTZ’s research reports, it can be accessed online through the company’s website.
DTZ publishes a quarterly update of the index for Europe, Asia Pacific and the U.S. Each market covered by DTZ has a separate index for the Office, Retail and Industrial sectors, and is eventually placed in one of the following three categories: HOT, WARM and COLD.
