Investing Globally In An Uncertain World

Globalisation has boosted economic growth and increased opportunities, but has also encouraged inequality and the rise of populist politics. 

The real estate asset class has been one of the beneficiaries: cross-border flows have accelerated,
while the rise of e-commerce and urbanisation trends have created new opportunities and risks for property investors. 


But does an uncertain political backdrop – and a populist backlash against globalisation – mean risks are now greater than ever?
