Once an ‘alternative’ allocation, property investing has arrived as a core component of institutional asset owner’s investment plan allocations. With emerging market volatility shocks and a retreat from risk based assets, tactical opportunities in the property sector are emerging whilst many more investors are going global in the search for new long term allocation ideas.

The third annual Investing in Property, Europe report brings together UK and continental European based pension plans, insurers, foundations and other institutional asset owners to examine emerging opportunities in property investing including strategies to diversify property investment holdings to achieve liability linked return objectives.
