Insight Summit: The Wall of Capital – What does it mean for the New Europe property markets?

Immediately following the New Europe Breakfast reception, an audience of 150 gathered to hear a keynote presentation by the JLL European Capital Markets team leaders Matthew Richards and Robert Stassen and a panel discussion involving some of the New Europe property sector’s most successful investors, developers, financiers and consultants, on how a recent huge increase in international real estate investment into Europe is impacting on the CEE markets.

8 IMGL1597The presentation highlighted how a ‘wall of capital’ is being driven primarily by a recent rebalancing and reallocation of a significant portion of pension fund capital from US and Asian markets out of fixed income and equities into alternative asset classes, including commercial real estate, due in part to the availability of big data on real estate markets and the greater transparency and fiduciary reportability that provides. Capital from insurance companies and endowment funds has also joined the fray, where in 2007 insurance companies were net sellers of real estate, now they’re net buyers. And it’s likely to increase.

The presentation was followed by a panel of some of the most important investors, developers, banks, agents and consultants active in the New Europe arena. For a full report on the event visit our Wall of Capital Insight Summit page.
