Real estate is a large and diverse asset class. Investing in both public and private markets is beneficial. Over the long term, both strategies reach the same point, they just move differently through the cycle due to liquidity variances. Combining both public and private leads to a better overall allocation through the cycle. Historically, the public REIT market tends to lead private markets by three quarters:

Historically, a 75% private/25% public allocation performed well. The combination works better through the cycle and gives more complete exposure to the overall real estate market.

The blended approach performs well compared to both stocks and bonds. Moreover, the return vs. risk (standard deviation) is better than stocks and bonds.
