Why Cypriots trust property but not stocks: an investment comparison

Cypriot households tend to concentrate their savings in property rather than stocks. Using an example of a €10,000 investment made in 2006, the article compares the results: by 2025, an investment in Limassol property had grown to about €26,000, while a low-cost S&P 500 index fund had grown to about €73,000. The author argues that the problem is not owning property, but holding almost no other assets; that concentration itself is a risk.
