“When it comes to global real estate, we have been undergoing a significant downward valuation adjustment”. In our latest CIO Insights Series, George Toubia outlines the shift of the conditions that have defined the last 15 – 20 years in global real estate. From this transition has emerged two key considerations: the adjustment and dislocation creating opportunities in structurally strong sectors and on the other hand, valuation traps in industries that we believe are in decline. Through our Real Estate theme we continue to evolve our thinking to identify the beneficiaries of this dislocation, translating into investment opportunities for our clients.
