| Specter of inflation driving real estate out of pandemic funk | | Real estate funds raised $152.7 billion in 2021, a year-over-year increase of 6%, as capital committed bounced back only modestly from the dip wrought by COVID-19.
Rising inflation may reshape the future of real estate funds, as the strategy is one of the asset classes expected to provide a hedge. Our H2 2021 Global Real Estate Report tracks the pandemic rebound and how the real estate investing landscape may change in an evolving market. Key takeaways include: - Allocations to real estate are likely to increase amid inflation, with signaled rate hikes dictating which strategies benefit and potentially driving capital to lower-risk areas.
- Median and average real estate fund sizes set records in 2021, but funds over $5 billion, which dominate other strategies, remain rare.
- The pandemic has redirected capital into sectors including logistics, industrial and life sciences at the expense of retail and hospitality investments.
- The share of funding going to emerging managers continues to fall as LPs favor experienced managers and as real estate fund management remains difficult to enter.
