This is the fifth study on the fees and terms of non-listed real estate funds investing in the Asia Pacific region. This biennial project aims to increase the transparency of the fee structures and fee levels in funds, and to create a framework for the regular reporting of fees in funds. The project also aims to increase the understanding of the challenges and limitations the non-listed real estate fund industry faces in analysing and comparing fee structures and levels.

Five consecutive years of positive growth saw funds of funds achieve a positive return of 5.1% in 2017.

In total, ANREV and INREV Funds of Funds Universes (‘Universe’) contains 60 funds of funds that are managed by 25 managers. Collectively these vehicles represent a total Net Asset Value (NAV) of $14.7 billion.  Ten fund of funds indicated their preference to remain anonymous and therefore the online vehicles universe only shows 50 funds of funds.  Performance data was based on 26 vehicles.

ANREV has started data collection for the Management Fees and Terms Study. This study is conducted every 2 years.

The  questionnaire is integrated into the online ANREV Vehicle Data Input Tool. For funds that have participated in previous years, a significant part of the data is prefilled.

Data can also be provided using an excel-based questionnaire. To maintain confidentiality results will be presented at an aggregated level and therefore no individual data will be published. 

We kindly request members to provide data for all your funds by Thursday 31 May.

With the popularity of the Asia Pacific non-listed real estate market continuing to increase, it is timely to assess how much capital is entering the market and what this figure represents on a global basis.

The Capital Raising Survey was first launched in 2014. This survey gives an insight into capital raising activities within the non-listed real estate industry by region, product type and investment strategy. The non-listed real estate products include separate accounts, joint ventures, club deals, funds of funds and non-listed real estate debt products. The report offers detailed insights into global and regional capital raising figures.

The 2018 survey attracted a record number of participants with 175 fund managers globally completing the questionnaire, a 8% increase compared to 2017 when 162 fund managers responded to the survey. 76.6% of those surveyed raised a combined US$160.2 billion for non-listed real estate throughout 2017.  The Asia Pacific region attracted US$26.2 billion of equity, a significant increase to the previous years’ figure of US$22.9 billion.

ANREV is pleased to present the results of its fifth global Investment Intentions Survey with a specific focus on non-listed real estate funds. The survey was conducted in conjunction with the European Association for Investors in Non-listed Real Estate Vehicles (INREV) and the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA). By joining the forces of all three organizations, the survey is able to present a truly global view on expected trends and investment intentions within the real estate industry. This is the eleventh edition of the regional survey which attracted 177 respondents in Asia Pacific compared to 199 in 2017: 84 investors (47.5%), 6 fund of fund managers (3.4%) and 87 fund managers (49.2%).

Chapter 2 explores global real estate allocations, providing insight into investment trends globally and is based on the full sample of respondents. This is a common section that can also be found in the INREV and PREA 2017  Investment Intentions reports.

Chapters 3 through 6 focus on the Asia Pacific real estate market, including insights on preferred structures, markets, sectors, styles and trends. These chapters are based only on those investors, fund managers, and fund of fund managers who are already invested in the Asia Pacific market or intend to do so in the next two years.

In the final chapter, for the fourth time, we have invited Real Capital Analytics (RCA) to present its analysis of the relationship between the predictions within ANREV Investment Intentions Survey 2017 and the investment activities that transpired during the past year using its database of global transactions in that particular year.
