Approaching Growth: U.S. REIT Investment Strategy

February 14, 2017

REIT valuations position the sector as a compelling investment option as we enter 2017, as REITs have already discounted the factors that should moderate returns in the underlying real estate markets this year. For private real estate markets, 2017 is a transitional year as we shift away from low-interest rates assisting cap rate compression and low supply assisting NOI growth. Instead, U.S. real estate markets now face a backdrop of higher interest rates and the first meaningful supply response since the Crisis.

The future of property investment

whitePaper | April 1, 2022

Real estate crowdfunding platforms are the only solutions available on the market. They o¬er the possibility to invest in a fractional way, to get dividends on the rents and capital gains on the properties. But we consider these platforms as "hybrid" solutions giving access to a right of "co-ownership" and therefore according to us, they do not in any way provide the possibility to invest in a fractional way. In the last few years, these platforms have opened up the crowdfunding market and made people aware of the potential of fractional investment and the strength of a liquid real estate market.

The 3C’s of ESG in Real Estate

whitePaper | October 14, 2022

ESG is seriously lacking structure. This may not be ground-breaking news, but frustrations are not tempering any time soon. In the real estate sector specifically, a place where scrutiny is feverishly increasing, there is a real lack of consensus as to what an ESG integrated portfolio actually looks like. Sustainability strategies are stagnating, targets are not being met and there’s no uniformed approach to benchmarking as everyone is doing their own thing. That’s not to criticise organisations’ best intentions but without a uniformed approach to ESG, only confusion and apprehension will continue to remain.

Senior Housing Development & Investment

whitePaper | May 24, 2022

As with some other real estate property categories, that reliable performance hit an extended rough patch after the onset of COVID-19. Operators halted or severely restricted property tours and move-ins; prospective residents, worried about serious illness, elected to remain in their homes. The industry’s valuation shrank from $475 billion at the end of 2019 to an estimated $437 billion as of the third quarter of 2021, according to Beth Mace, NIC’s chief economist & director of outreach. Profitability has also declined between 4 percent and 8 percent during the pandemic, estimates Mel Gamzon, principal at Senior Housing Global Advisors.

Commercial real estate used to be an ‘easy’ investment, with long-term leases and stable, predictable ROI. But the office real estate landscape has profoundly changed. First with the emergence of coworking spaces, shorter-term leases and pay-as-you-go flexibility.
