The most notable development observed during Q2 was the steep decline of growth deals (including venture-backed deals and minority investments).

If 2021 was the all-time deal-making peak and 2022 brought instability and macro-economic tempests, what did 2023 bring?

A recurring theme in my interactions with potential clients and sponsors so far in 2024 has emerged: real estate sponsors and issuers, traditionally reliant on institutional investors that are now more scarce than ever, are now exploring the potential of retail investors as a vital source of capital. I advise them that embracing retail investors must be a deliberate strategy rather than a fallback option. Welcoming retail investors means opening a new dimension to your business that requires viewing these investors as customers. This perspective shift demands a comprehensive strategy for engagement, from marketing to ongoing communication, ensuring that investors are successfully onboarded, retained, and satisfied, mirroring the customer lifecycle in traditional business models. The transition from institutional to retail capital can be challenging, but it presents a unique opportunity for growth and diversification. Successfully integrating retail investors into your funding strategy adds a resilient layer to your capital-raising efforts, ensuring access to a broader capital base, even as institutional funding landscapes fluctuate. At Invown, we understand the nuances of tapping into the retail market. We support issuers and sponsors in navigating the marketing, regulatory, legal, and technological aspects of raising capital from retail investors. I am very bullish on the untapped potential of retail capital and am committed to enabling our partners to leverage this resource effectively. The future belongs to those who can adeptly navigate institutional and retail funding channels. With the right approach, retail capital can become a cornerstone of a company's funding strategy, providing a stable and diversified source of investment that complements traditional institutional avenues. #RealEstateInvesting #RetailInvestors #FundingStrategy #Invown #CapitalRaising #InvestmentOpportunity #RegCF #506c

With 2024 well under way, all signs are pointing to improved investment sentiment over 2023 – especially in the second half of the year. Prime offices and logistics in APAC remain the best bets for core investment strategies; add-value strategies should look to the retail sectors in Asia and Europe; and retail has also emerged as the best for opportunistic strategies. But there’s far more to choose from.
