Welcome to the March 2022 update of the Global Real Estate Fund Index (GREFI). It is an index showing the performance of non-listed real estate funds on a global basis and is created by ANREV, INREV and NCREIF. This publication includes performance figures up to end of Q4 2021.

The GREFI All Funds Index was updated for the first time on a quarterly basis following the second quarterly release of the ANREV Index for Q1 2014. From Q1 2014 onwards, GREFI has been updated 12 weeks after the quarter end. This index release follows the same structure of previous releases. All numbers are also available in an Excel file.

The history of the Global Real Estate Fund Index (GREFI) has been extended to Q1 2005, now offering almost 15 years of performance across all regions. 

The GREFI All Funds Index delivered a total return of 5.93% in Q4 2021. The latest results are the strongest on record for the GREFI, considerably above the pre-pandemic levels of 2019 and pre-GFC levels.

Key highlights:

• US funds showed the strongest performance out of the regional strategies, recording a total return of 8.05% this quarter.
• Non-core funds outperformed their core peers, with the quarterly total returns of 7.34% and 5.66%, respectively.
