Global Real Estate Capital Flows

Institutional mandates are actively seeking external expertise, evidenced by the Infrastructure Opportunity Fund issuing an RFP for managers to handle a $450 million non-core real estate allocation. This allocation activity coincides with major M&A in the sector, as Chatham Financial agreed to acquire Hodes Weill to boost its infrastructure advisory capabilities, while in Canada, KingSett Capital moves to privatize First Capital REIT, absorbing C$4.4 billion of retail assets. Meanwhile, fundraising continues apace in Europe, with Nordic specialist Niam achieving a first close on its ninth opportunistic fund, already securing commitments halfway toward its €1 billion target after just six months of marketing Niam holds first close for ninth Nordic opportunistic fund.
