FINDING OPPORTUNITIES AMID THE TURBULENCE ...
“Private real estate continues to attract institutional investors despite global geopolitical and macroeconomic
rumblings in Asia with the Chinese economic slowdown, in Europe following Brexit, and in the US with the
forthcoming presidential elections on the horizon.
Yet despite the instability, and a decrease in overall capital raising numbers since the post-crisis zenith in 2015,
many investors are spying opportunities amid the turbulence. This is visible in PERE’s private real estate fundraising
research, which shows that Europe has seen an increase in capital raising in 2016.
Join us at the PERE Global Investor Forum: Amsterdam where we will be discussing how and where to find value
in the private real estate sphere and more.”
