How can real estate help meet DC member needs in the short and long run?

Threading the needle to provide options for DC investors is difficult – from meeting regulatory requirements, to solving for the operational constraints of DC platforms to fitting into master fund charge caps. An area where DC plans are under provided for in terms of options is real estate. It is the same across other private markets. Other institutional investors have a wide spectrum of real estate investment options in terms of geography (why limit yourself to the UK at only 5% of the universe), sector and risk return profile. Invesco has worked hard to address these challenges by providing investors with access to platform friendly offerings that meet the return, diversification, liquidity, and sustainability needs in a cost-effective manner. In this session Simon Redman, Real Estate Managing Director and Mary Cahani, Director – UK institutional at Invesco will talk through the development of these real estate offerings and how they can help meet investor needs in the short and long run.
