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.
