Circle Group believes that residential investment property is the most appropriate way for people to achieve their wealth creation goals. Like most forms of investment, residential property is most successful when the timeframe for investment is appropriate. We encourage people to think medium to long term when looking at residential property as this minimises the influence that timing has on their outcome.

Statistically, property has been an outstanding performer. Historically property values are cyclic but the average capital gain in New Zealand over a long period of time has been between 6-7%. We remain resolute in the belief that over time it will perform as well or better than other forms of investment in New Zealand, for the level of risk assumed.

With the current advantages for gearing of property not expected to be removed, supported by the unlikely introduction of a capital gains tax for property, we remain steadfast in our belief that this form of investment will best serve the majority of New Zealanders for years to come.

The other advantage of residential property is that it is a physical asset that people can see and touch. Once you own the property, nobody can run off with your asset, unlike investments which are pooled with other investors and subject to the skills and methodology of the people managing the assets.
