×Real Estate Investment
HSBC Life is planning a strategic return to real estate through value-add funds, aiming to diversify its $120 billion portfolio that has been heavily weighted toward U.S. core assets. The insurer's CIO indicated particular interest in Asian property markets as part of this expansion strategy. Meanwhile, the real estate private equity landscape is evolving with new coverage as PERE Credit merges with Real Estate Capital Europe in June, creating expanded global reporting on real estate private credit markets.
Infrastructure & Energy
RGREEN has successfully raised €900 million for its fifth European energy transition fund, with approximately 70% of the capital already deployed and full investment expected by year-end. This demonstrates strong momentum in the renewable energy infrastructure sector despite broader market uncertainties. The transaction market is also showing signs of recovery according to MSCI's head of EMEA real assets research, who noted increased large trade activity and record data center deployment are building positive momentum after a period of stalled deals in both volume and number.
