NCREIF Index Authors Jinliang Li, Robert M. Mooradian, and Shiawee X. Yang Abstract This paper examines the dynamic behavior of the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF) index. NCREIF total return and appreciation indexes are smooth and exhibit strong autocorrelation and autoregressive heteroscedasticity.

The following problem arises in the context of private equity, which typically report "smoothed" returns (think of it as a moving average). As you can imagine, "smoothed" returns would have a much lower volatility compared to the volatility of "unsmoothed" returns. For risk calculation we are interested in volatility of "unsmoothed" returns.

the NCREIF Index. The quarterly mean returns for the CRSP/Ziman equity REIT value-weight and equal-weight portfolios are 3.47% and 3.75%, respectively. The associated standard deviations are 7.41% and 7.97%. The quarterly mean returns for the NCREIF Index and the unsmoothed NCREIF Index are 2.16% and 1.29%, respectively. We find that smoothing is on average close to zero but varies substantially over time. From the inception of the NCREIF index in 1978 until the mid-1990s, there was little evidence of smoothing. Smoothing has increased significantly since the mid-1990s to the end of 2010. Smoothing increases when property prices or uncertainty increases. The extremely low standard deviation of NCREIF Index returns is indicative of the volatility dampening associated with smoothing because of stale valuations. However, the average return increases from 6.14% for the NCREIF Index to 7.27% for the unsmoothed NCREIF Index. The correlation between these two indices is 0.71.

Similarly, the quarterly autocorrelation of the CRE index constructed from unsmoothed fund returns is still 0.54. These results indicate that the systematic component of fund-level returns is not fully unsmoothed based on traditional methods, making it diﬃcult to properly measure fund risk exposures. stock index, r Russt is the return to the Russell 2000 small cap index, r Bt is the return to the Lehman Brothers long-term government and corporate bond index, and r REt is the return to unsecuritized real estate (an ‘‘unsmoothed’’ or delagged version of the NCREIF total return index, to be discussed below), in period t.

01/12/2019 This book provides an economic and ecnonometric analysis of real estate investment and real estate market behavior. Wang examines fluctuations in the real estate business to reveal the mechanisms governing the interactions between the industry and other sectors of the economy. The NCREIF Property Index (NPI) is a quarterly, unleveraged composite total return for private commercial real estate properties held for investment purposes only. All properties in the NPI have been acquired, at least in part, on behalf of tax-exempt institutional investors and held in a fiduciary environment. Jun 3rd, 2009 1:52pm 196 AF Points The CFAI text references the “unsmoothed” NCREIF index as the more volatile but accurate index vs the NCREIF. But I don’t see anywhere in the text any specifics on what is done to “unsmooth” the index.
