…universe expansion machine + APREA Summit
One antidote to a disrupted world is an expanding institutional investment universe.
More choice = more opportunity = (potentially) more alpha.
AsiaPac’s institutional real estate universe grows by a whisker over one billion US dollars per day.
While this growth rate is seven percent slower than North America’s expansion speed, it’s nearly 40 percent faster than Europe's.
Unfortunately, for conservative investors, the overwhelming share of AsiaPac expansion is in its emerging real estate hubs, many of which suffer from shallow capital markets, unappealing land ownership systems, unfriendly tax regimes and inconsistent cross-border investment rules.
APREA’s job is to fix them and connect members to the resulting opportunities.
This is one reason why APREA campaigns for REITs – the introduction of ‘state-of-the-art’ REIT rules helps bring order and formal structures to a nation’s property market.
India proves it can be done.
The Indian Government recently announced further (APREA-proposed) improvements to its nascent REIT and InvIT (infrastructure) codes. You can find all the details in the third edition of APREA and PwC’s invaluable REIT/InvIT primer here.
