Influence of capital flows on real estate
Currently, the company manages a volume of real estate assets valued at 17 billion euros, primarily as a co-investor and portfolio manager for about 200 pension funds, life insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, or savings and mutual banks.
When the oil prices are falling, the Chinese economy is slowing and that the EU is facing the risk of a “brexit” by the UK, the investors’ capital flows are progressing worldwide. At MIPIM 2016, the General Directors of PATRIZIA for each country have analyzed, under the leadership of Peter Macpherson, Director of International Institutional Clients of PATRIZIA UK and Ireland, the influence of these capital flows – such as those of the Japan Post Bank, the world’s largest pension fund – on real estate markets.
