How does listed property generally handle a bear market? Does the good dividend payments give it some resilience?
Not really any better or worse. In a crash everything, including defensive stocks, drop sharply.
We had a crash in 1987, the good thing was that I could get PUT/PLS stocks on a yield of 18%-20% !
As it stands now, yield is of huge relevance to investors globally due to negative, or close to zero yields
on bonds and other fixed investments. Given that scenario, I would venture to say that our listed property
will this time round be more resilient to a global market crash.
Unfortunately only a charlatan will profess to know exactly what will happen and when it will happen.
