FAQ: How Does the Platform Project Real Estate Growth

We use the FP Canada guidelines for our inflation/growth assumption (which all CFPs should be using for their long-term rate of return assumptions). The reason we default to inflation for real estate increase is to be consistent with inflation over long periods of time. Although there a certainly periods of real estate growth above inflation the long-term average isn't likely to deviate by a large amount.

If your Real Assets value looks flat on the projection charts this is because they default to "Today's Dollars". But if you look at the "Future Dollars" chart then you'll see how the platform is increasing the value over time.
