This paper re‐examines the sensitivity and importance of interest rates and stock market price behavior on securitised property by decomposing their long‐run impact between transient and permanent effects. This is achieved in a framework that accounts for endogenously determined structural breaks within the data. The results provide a different perspective on the relationship securitised property has with these markets and sheds new light on their long‐run interaction. Once structural breaks are accounted for the results show that securitised property is driven by both interest rate and stock market changes, regardless of the type of securitised property being examined. Evidence also points to companies with increased debt‐to‐asset ratios and companies that are tax‐exempt entities are still all influenced by both the equity and fixed income markets over the long‐run period, although the influence these factors have do vary across time.
