    Social impact

    January / February 2021 (Magazine)

    The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend for impact investing in real estate, most notably in the area of social and affordable housing. In the UK, a growing number of funds have attracted pension-fund capital. While some of the scale and track record required by institutions was not available in the past, the slate of new initiatives shows just how much appetite there is. In this report, we also take a look at how impact investing is picking up momentum in the US and Australia, with investors playing a role in tackling affordability issues.

    January / February 2021 (Magazine)

In this report, we look at the emergence of net-zero targets among investors, fund managers and governments.

    GRESB: The class of 2020

    January / February 2021 (Magazine)

    Over the past 10 years, GRESB has become an integral part of investor due diligence and investment-manager reporting.  In 2020, further participation in the GRESB Real Estate Benchmark caused coverage to grow by 22%, taking in 1,229 portfolios encompassing more than US$4.8trn (€4trn) in assets under management. Meanwhile, the GRESB Infrastructure Fund Assessment, launched five years ago, has been playing catch-up.  In this report, we shine a light on some of the leading participants in both real estate and infrastructure assessments.
