19 October 2022, Amsterdam – According to the INREV Management Fees & Terms Study 2022, published today, the average total global expense ratio (TGER) for European non-listed real estate funds based on gross asset value (GAV) was 0.95%. However, there is considerable variation based on key fund characteristics. Funds with a multi-country and/or multi-sector strategy command higher TGERs than those focused on a single country or sector. No doubt the increased operational costs associated with managing assets in different jurisdictions and across sectors account for a large part of the differential.

Market performance and capital growth slowed in Q2, but remained in positive territory 16 September 2022, Amsterdam – The INREV Pan-European Quarterly Asset Level Index has revealed a decline in performance for the European non-listed real estate market in Q2 2022. Delivering a total return of 2.69%, performance was significantly lower than the previous quarter when total returns amounted to 4.01%. The decline in performance comes as a result of reduced levels of capital growth in the quarter, falling to 1.86% from the 3.15% delivered in Q1 2022. Although remaining in positive territory, this rapid slowdown reflects an equally sharp decline in sentiment and hesitancy among investors and managers as risks mount. Rising interest rates, high inflation, and the energy crisis as the war in Ukraine continues, are just some of the risks market players are currently concerned about.

By 2031, 90 funds...
