In this Australian Investors Podcast episode, Owen Rask sits down with Andrew Parsons, chief investment officer and founding member of Resolution Capital, to unpack a market many Australians overlook: listed property and real assets.
Andrew explains why so many investors feel comfortable with residential property but get stuck when the conversation shifts to REITs, commercial real estate and infrastructure. He breaks down what listed property actually is, why liquidity matters more than most people realise, and how investors can think differently about income, volatility and long-term wealth creation.
The conversation explores the real differences between residential property, commercial property and infrastructure, including where regulation, supply and leverage can change the risk profile. Andrew also shares what he is watching in 2026, why construction and debt conditions matter so much to returns, and how to separate a cheap asset from a genuine opportunity.
If you want a clearer framework for thinking about REITs, real assets, active management and portfolio diversification, this episode is well worth your time. It is a practical discussion about demand, supply, balance sheets and compounding for investors who want property exposure without buying a single house or apartment.
