Real Estate Equity: Strategies Designed for Today

Synopsis
Generating a secure, sustainable income stream to meet your liabilities is hard enough in today’s yield-constrained environment. But it’s not just income you need; but sustainable returns too. In the UK market mispricing in the wake of the Brexit referendum is creating some attractive opportunities, underpinned by significant macro trends e.g. e-commerce, urbanisation.
At the same time, with the UK government acting to make renting a better alternative, residential property is also giving investors the chance to capitalise on robust demand from renters. But the UK is certainly not the only source of opportunity for real estate investors. With Europe behind in the property cycle, there’s still a compelling case for investing in core real estate.
The M&G Investor Workshop 2017 raises the following questions: What is better today: Europe or UK? Does investment into value add or core real estate make more sense?
