We have identified four secular trends providing opportunities for real estate investment strategies

  1. Technology and the knowledge economy: The interface for “work” has shifted, consolidating value in those buildings which address specific needs and evolving tenant preferences, as various industry sectors continue to develop
  2. Individualism: Individual preferences with regards to “work, live and play” have shifted, further accelerated by the pandemic, deepening disparities in demand between and within related sectors
  3. Aging populations and demographic shifts: Rapidly changing demographics are further altering relative demand for various types and living formats
  4. People and places: Increased regulatory and industry standards demand a holistic approach to the creation of value for all stakeholders, including investors and communities

CASE STUDY

Tokyo Serviced Living

Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo Serviced Living has a strong track record in the serviced apartment sector, with 2,500 units and 95% occupancy across Asia Pacific. Their strategy focuses on a rolling conversion of existing leased residential units on lease expiry to serviced apartments. This creates improved amenities on shorter term leases, which is suitable for the higher-yielding Air BnB-style tourism market.

What are semi-liquid investment products?

Open-ended structures, where investors can buy and sell at a prevailing NAV, have historically had limited applicability in private markets due to the illiquid nature of the underlying investments. In response to this, semi-liquid structures have been developed to provide liquidity in a controlled manner.

A well-constructed portfolio, one that is diverse by geography, sector, type and vintage, can engineer a level of “natural liquidity” that is regular and consistent. Semi-liquids also employ liquidity management tools that can control liquidity within the fund. The result is a platform that provides investors with a liquidity window without compromising returns and helps them meet their investment objectives.

Risk considerations

Market risk - The value of investments can go up and down and an investor may not get back the amount initially invested.

Private market valuations - In times of stress it may be difficult to find appropriate prices for private asset investments and they may be valued on the basis of proxies or estimates.  This may lead to significant changes in the valuation of the fund, or the inability to determine a reliable net asset value which may lead to a suspension of the fund.

Property development risk - The fund may invest in property development which may be subject to risks including, risks relating to planning and other regulatory approvals, the cost and timely completion of construction, general market and letting risk, and the availability of both construction and permanent financing on favourable terms.

Tax risk - The fund and its returns may rely on certain available tax efficiencies at the inception of the fund which may be subject to changes in tax treatment or interpretations. Any change in the actual or perceived tax status or exposure of the fund or its investments as well as in tax legislation, practice or in accounting standards could adversely affect the anticipated level of taxation.

Tenant risk - The distributions payable by the fund are dependent on the income from the underlying property owned and is subject to the risk that tenants may default on their rental obligations.

Credit risk - If a borrower of debt provided by the fund or a bond issuer experiences a decline in financial health, their ability to make payments of interest and principal may be affected, which may cause a decline in the value of the fund.

Currency risk - The fund may lose value as a result of movements in foreign exchange rates, otherwise known as currency rates.

Interest rate risk - The fund may lose value as a direct result of interest rate changes.

Liquidity risk - The fund invests in illiquid instruments, which are harder to sell. Illiquidity increases the risks that the fund will be unable to sell its holdings in a timely manner in order to meet its financial obligations at a given point in time. It may also mean that there could be delays in investing committed capital into the asset class.

Operational risk - Operational processes, including those related to the safekeeping of assets, may fail. This may result in losses to the fund.

Performance risk - Investment objectives express an intended result but there is no guarantee that such a result will be achieved. Depending on market conditions and the macroeconomic environment, investment objectives may become more difficult to achieve.

Real estate and property risk - Real estate investments are subject to a variety of risk conditions such as economic conditions, changes in laws (e.g. environmental and zoning) and other influences on the market.

Sustainability risk - The fund has environmental and/or social characteristics. This means it may have limited exposure to some companies, industries or sectors and may forego certain investment opportunities, or dispose of certain holdings, that do not align with its sustainability criteria chosen by the investment manager. The fund may invest in companies that do not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor.
