ANREV is pleased to present the results of its fourth 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 tenth edition of the regional survey which attracted 199 respondents in Asia Pacific compared to 221 in 2016: 93 investors (47%), 10 fund of fund managers (5%) and 96 fund managers (48%).

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 2016 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 third time, we have invited Real Capital Analytics (RCA) to present its analysis of the relationship between the predictions within ANREV Investment Intentions Survey 2016 and the investment activities that transpired during the past year using its database of global transactions in that particular year.
