Global Standards

As part of INREV’s efforts to align the non-listed real estate industry globally, INREV, ANREV, NCREIF and PREA are working together to create global standards.

Together we have launched the Global Definitions Database and the Fee and Expense Metrics Phase I, including terminology and definitions for Total Expense Ratio (TER) and Real Estate Expense Ratio (REER).

The current focus is on continuing to nail down global definitions, creating a global Net Asset Value metric, and further developing reporting standards.

The Global Steering Committee brings together members of the European, Asian and North American non-listed real estate community to develop common standards that can be used across the globe, whether you’re an investor or a fund manager.

The steering committee is made up of members from INREV, ANREV, NCREIF and PREA, who have joined forces to identify gaps and best practice, create global definitions, and work together towards Global Standards for the industry.

Global definitions are an important step towards producing global standards and aligning the INREV Guidelines with the NCREIF PREA Reporting Standards. The GDD provides a common glossary of non-listed real estate terms. Many terms have been agreed to globally, while others are specific to Asian, European and North American standards, guidelines and data products.
