Webcast: Real estate debt in numbers

PERE’s research shows a slowdown in real estate debt fundraising since a post-global financial crisis peak in 2017.

Institutional investors have shown a net reduction in appetite for private real estate debt fund strategies leading up to the covid-19 pandemic, PERE research reveals.

In this webcast, PEI’s head of fund manager research, Daniel Humphrey Rodriguez, predicts the economic crisis resulting from the pandemic will see demand for the strategies further reduce in 2020.

In 2019, a little more than $40 billion was raised for private real estate debt funds, with 31 percent of the funds closing missing their original target.

The data, which include a detailed look at PERE’s signature Real Estate Debt 50 ranking, is up to March 2020, as the pandemic began to spike worldwide.
