Real estate investment activity is wide ranging across tier one countries, growing markets and many emerging markets. In some cases, it is more buoyant than in others. This session will try to offer some clarity on strategic thinking, investment opportunities and key trends in this global environment. How are institutional investors and securitized real estate entities evaluating their allocation to real estate assets? Is a key factor safety vs. growth? In assessing risk/return, what markets do they favor and which ones are they avoiding? What is the prevailing view of the major global markets? Is Canada considered overpriced? Which market is safer and positioned to provide better returns? Investors are now more focused on major cities around the world rather than prioritizing countries. What are some of the ones on their list? Looking ahead, what risks and opportunities do they see increasing in 2018? Where is the greatest potential growth likely to come from? Is benchmarking your real estate performance a key priority? What have been some of their successes and failures over the past year?
