Report Highlights
When asset managers from the five largest European markets were asked which
geographic areas are of most interest to the investors in their home country,
most selected Europe as the area that is most popular. They also believed that
the majority of investors were looking to invest in mixed use funds rather
than in a single property type.
When asked which sector the investors in their country preferred to invest in,
53.9% said that mixed use funds was the most popular strategy. The main appeal
of a mixed use portfolio is the extra level of diversification it offers
investors, as the different sectors of property are not necessarily closely
linked in terms of performance.
There is a general trend towards favoring the dismantling of regulatory and
tax barriers that exist in respect of onshore property funds, although far
fewer asset managers believe that a corresponding increase in the regulations
governing offshore funds would improve the onshore market.
