Fund managers required to register may find their marketability to investors improved.

The recession, financial crisis and pullbacks in the credit market have taken a toll on real estate private equity over the past few years.

In our annual global market outlook examining real estate private equity trends, we look at how world events may impact your business, peers and competition.

Take a closer look at:

• Changes to fund structuring terms
• Regulatory reforms play a bigger role
• Potential accounting changes

Additionally, we’ve summarized the report’s key findings below:

• There is likely to be a long, slow recovery in the real estate funds sector, but distressed deal opportunities will continue, and convergence of the bid-ask spread will foster greater deal volumes.
• Due to a wave of regulatory and financial reporting changes, the fund operating models will change over the medium to long term.
• Overall fund terms have not come back to where they were pre-crash, and many real estate fund managers have had to make investor concessions.
• Investors are now more focused on scrutinizing the real estate fund platforms where they are placing capital. More information will be needed to meet investors’ reporting requirements.
• For most fund managers, the fundraising process is significantly longer compared to predecessor funds.
• Fund managers required to register may find their marketability to investors improved.
