VERIANO’s “Professionals’ Real Estate Investment Report 2015” study shows: Low interest rate environment continues to challenge institutional investors / USA as the market with the greatest potential
Every year, VERIANOS conducts a survey on assessments of macro and real estate developments among international real estate experts and executives. The results of the survey are summarized by the independent consulting and investment boutique in the Professionals’ Real Estate Investment Report study – a comprehensive overview of real estate and macroeconomic trends.
The study identifies the following trends:
- The US continues to position itself as a global engine of growth, the outlook for Germany is seen as stable and a positive development is expected for Great Britain as well
- Germany, the USA and Great Britain are the preferred locations of German institutional investors for real estate investments. In addition to the economic outlook, the high degree of transparency and professionalism of these markets also contribute to this
- For foreign investments, German institutional investors prefer indirect forms of investment, whereby depending on the size of the investor, theme- or sector-specific funds but also broader diversified products are preferred
- The low interest rate environment is seen as a sustainable phenomenon and leads to a general increase in the value of all asset classes – a complete decoupling of the real economy and capital markets is a risk of this development
- Against the background of the price development of core real estate, there is a great interest in value added / opportunistic investments – as evidenced by the increased transaction volume
The study will be collaborative with M&G Real Estate, London, performed and evaluated.
