In addition, it investigates the degree of systematic risks of REITs and to determine whether REITs give higher returns than the market portfolio. The results indicate that the risk-adjusted performance of REITs vary over time. REITs in general outperformed the market portfolio during the financial crisis but underperformed in the pre-crisis and post-crisis period. This study also found that the average systematic risks of REITs were slightly higher than the market portfolio during the pre-crisis and crisis period but were significantly lower in the post-crisis period.
