Institutional investors have traditionally viewed real estate as a risk–reducer, diversifying portfolios in line with the fiduciary responsibilities imposed by ERISA. This is not the only role that the asset class can fill. Real estate can obviously help make a portfolio market–neutral and more reflective of the overall investment universe. Can it also reduce the overall risk of a portfolio, provide high absolute returns, act as an inflation hedge, and offer strong cash flows? Recently, the equity market has faltered, and the specters of inflation and recession now haunt the collective psyche ...

In the beginning real estate was regarded as a diversifier, bolstered by the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974. However, given real estate's nature as a debt-equity hybrid and the emergence of new ways to invest in real estate markets, it is clear that there could be additional motivations for choosing to include real estate in a mixed asset portfolio.

Reinhold Niebuhr and the Jewish people There was one Protestant teacher in America who, during the German Church Struggle and the Holocaust, wrote and lectured with remarkable understanding of what was happening. And he understood something that has yet to penetrate most of North American Protestantism: that the Holocaust is as great a tragedy for Christendom as for the Jewish people. For the Holocaust occurred right in the heart of Christendom, and it was carried out by baptized Roman Catholics, Protestants and Eastern Orthodox who were never rebuked let alone excommunicated. And it was plann...
