Despite COVID-19 and the turbulence of 2020, the majority of institutional investors from Europe and the US have said they are either planning to stick firm to their investment plans for non-listed real estate assets across the Asia Pacific region in the coming year or increase their exposure.

More profoundly, 22% of investors said the crisis urged them to increase their planned investments in the region, against only 16% and 13% of investors, who were planning to increase their exposure to American and European real estate markets in the coming months, respectively, the joint study by Asian and European Associations for non-listed real estate vehicles (ANREV and INREV) and the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA) in the US found.

Further to that, the proportion of investors who expected to increase their allocation across the region over the next two years stood at 72% which was higher than the proportion expecting an increase in allocation to any other regions.

At the same time, non-listed real estate funds remained the preferred investment route to Asia Pacific markets, with 65% of investors indicating their willingness to increase their allocation through this route, Amélie Delaunay, director of research and professional standards at ANREV, said.

Delaunay, who reminded that real estate investing was “for the long term”, said that this preference for non-listed real estate funds might have been reinforced by the travel restrictions in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
