2019 Global Real Estate Outlook

January 30, 2019

In 2019, Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing (MSREI) believes economic growth will moderate globally and diverge across major markets, while interest rate policies are expected to converge and financial conditions will likely tighten. The combination of lower macroeconomic growth and higher interest rates will likely lead to lower commercial real estate returns broadly as a result of moderating real estate fundamentals and flat to marginally higher cap rates. However, returns will likely be more differentiated by market and sector, requiring investment managers to be more discerning in defining optimal investment strategies and deploying capital against those strategies.

Private Real Assets: Diversification creates resilience

whitePaper | August 5, 2021

Real assets are tangible, physical assets that have an inherent value deriving from their attributes and usefulness. The asset class includes commodities, land, precious metals, real estate, equipment and machinery, and natural resources. Occasionally, this definition is expanded to include an element of inflation protection, in which case financial assets such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) can also be included in the list. Private real assets also come with their own distinct challenges. They are typically illiquid and most suitable for institutional investors with a longer time horizon. Additionally, physical ownership of private assets such as those mentioned above requires a certain degree of operational expertise. Taking all of this into account, developing an optimal allocation to private real assets can become a complex process.
