Managers

The Australian firm is planning to launch a value-add fund and bespoke strategies with its capital partners in the region.

The consultant’s newly launched sustainability index finds industrial properties are less impacted by sustainability than offices and retail.

For the first time in the fund series’ history, the private investment firm will target a sizable allocation to data centers.

The firm has launched the strategy at a time when real estate financing ‘is a pretty broken market,’ according to CEO Jon Winkelried.

The Munich-based mega-manager is reducing its exposure to India and China to redeploy the proceeds into the region’s more developed markets.

Despite the more positive outlook for the sector at a pan-Asia level, organizations from the US and Europe are still taking opportunities to reduce their exposure to the region.

The concentration of bond financing issued by the country’s REITs makes it a target for potential acquisitions in the coming months.

The commitment from the real estate investment arm of the Swiss banking giant has been invested in portfolio company Placefirst.

The firm plans to lower the vehicle’s exposure to offices by 15-20% as it seeks to top up its allocation to multifamily and logistics.

The manager closed on an additional $2bn for its latest real estate opportunistic fund during Q3 2023 amid a pick-up in transaction activity.
