A Note on Optimal Portfolio Selection and Diversification Benefits with a Short Sale Restriction on Real Estate Assets

Author

Abstract

This paper develops an optimal portfolio selection technique when short sales on real estate assets are restricted. Using the well-known mean-variance efficient concept, we are able to derive the optimal weights for portfolios consisting of both financial assets and real estate assets. Our paper provides a simple but powerful tool for portfolio managers to correctly construct mean-variance portfolios under short sale constraints.
