Real Estate Investment

Dutch investor Bouwinvest proposed a reciprocal tax framework to stimulate cross-border pension investment, a move its CEO called unprecedented for the firm. This initiative comes as the LA Fire and Police pension fund is urged to deploy capital in niche real estate strategies, potentially reducing its public REIT exposure. Meanwhile, the Bank of England is collaborating with major non-bank lenders in UK real estate for a private markets stress test. South Korean investment bank KB Securities is also signaling openness to new partnerships with global GPs and LPs, exploring various cooperative structures.

Infrastructure Funds

Conifer Infrastructure successfully closed its debut fund at a hard-cap of $900 million, targeting a net internal rate of return of 25%. The fund has already allocated approximately $190 million across hydroelectric, biogas, and helium platforms. The Japan Science and Technology Agency has begun investing in infrastructure secondaries, indicating growing institutional interest in the sector. Separately, Seraya has reached the halfway mark for its $1.5 billion sophomore infrastructure fund.

Real Estate Secondaries & Management

Madison International has elevated two senior executives to succeed founder Seth Dickerman, following a multi-year succession planning process. This leadership transition occurs as the firm, a significant player in real estate secondaries, sees three other executives depart. The broader real estate sector continues to see active capital deployment, with firms like Bouwinvest exploring innovative tax structures to facilitate cross-border pension fund investments in real estate assets.
