It was a groundbreaking study because it was the first to study returns of stock, bonds and residential real-estate since the 1870's across multiple countries. https://www.frbsf.org/wp-content/uploads/wp2017-25.pdfIn the whole period...real-estate had the highest return with stocks a very close second (about 1 percent behind) and bonds lowest.In the modern era, it was essentially the same but with stocks in first place and real estate a very close second (about 1% behind) and bonds lowest.And even in the modern era there were many decade long periods where real estate did better than stocks.Also, there is no way to know what will happen in the future and it's possible that stocks could perform lower for a longer period( or real estate).So, to me it's a no-brainer that I want the diversification of having *both* in my portfolio (and would never limit myself to just one of the other).
