Your Money Matters: Global property forecast 2007
In 2006, global property markets provided 26.5 percent euro-denominated returns versus 8.3% for global equities and a -5.1% return from global bonds. It was the seventh consecutive year that this asset class outperformed equity and bond markets. Global property markets advanced on mergers & acquisitions (M&A) activity, increased money inflows (primarily through REIT IPOs) and improving underlying fundamentals. As we move into 2007, we can expect increased securitization of property worldwide. Why is this happening? Surprisingly, both institutional and individual investors are significantly under weighted in real estate. Real estate investing has traditionally been available through professionally managed, single-property investments.

Bank picks bowling alleys as next big thing
With chipped paint, cigarette butt-littered hallways and out-of-date decor, bowling alleys were an unfashionable hangover from the 1960s. But now Macquarie Leisure Trust, part of the largest investment bank in Australia, is doing what it can to inject new life into 10-pin bowling centres. The trust has spent the past few years snapping up bowling alley businesses throughout Australasia and in the United States' fast-food-eating capital, Texas. It is now refurbishing the centres in a quest to cash in on their popularity with the baby boomer generation, and as corporate function and birthday party venues. Last month, Macquarie Leisure Trust bought a bowling alley in Panmure. The trust currently owns 50 of almost 160 bowling alleys throughout Australia, six in Texas and more acquisitions are on the way.

Brush up on your funds
Changing your financial situation overnight will be difficult but each time you make a sound decision it will make a small difference. It's important to keep an open mind about your personal finances and to stick to your financial goals: making a plan that works for you and sticking to it. Getting messy finances worked out is possible but you'll have to accept that it will take a long time and you have to remain committed to finding financial freedom for yourself. Live within your means Actually, you should live below your means. If you earn £20,000 a year then you need to live as though you earn £15,000 a year, and then use the extra £5,000 to save, reduce debt or invest. So many people who have incomes of £50,000, £75,000 or even £150,000 have spent everything they've earned and have almost nothing to show for it.
