The ANREV/INREV/NCREIF Fund Manager Survey 2015 explores total real estate assets under management (AUM) of all real estate fund management companies.

The survey seeks to gain a better understanding of the major participants across the real estate industry before taking a closer look at those active in the non-listed real estate industry, with particular focus on non-listed real estate funds. Furthermore, the survey provides insights by region, product type and investment strategy, and where possible provides a breakdown by quartiles.

This year, for the first time, the survey has a global outreach and was conducted in conjunction with INREV in Europe and NCREIF in the US.

The 2015 survey attracted a record number of 164 respondents (2014: 147) across Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. Collectively, they manage total real estate AUM of USD$2.1 trillion (2014: USD$1.9 trillion).

Figures are quoted as at 31 December 2014 unless otherwise stated.

ANREV, INREV and NCREIF would like to thank fund managers for their participation in the Fund Manager Survey 2015.
