Abstract: This paper presents the findings from a survey of plan sponsors on future research directions in real estate. The Pension Real Estate Association (PREA) and the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF) sponsored the survey in fall 1992. Among other things, results indicate a need for further research into The Role of Real Estate in a Mixed-Asset Portfolio and Real Estate Cycles and Their Predictability. When analyzed by size and type of fund, the largest funds (government) tend to be interested in performance issues, whereas smaller funds are interested in how much real estate and appropriate investment vehicle.
