The ranking’s net investing almost halved in the last 12 months. Restrictions imposed by covid-19 will only further reduce its ability to place capital, writes Simon Mallinson, executive managing director of Real Capital Analytics.

Outraising its closest competition by $36bn in this year’s PERE 100, the sector’s heavyweight champion continues its dominance of the private real estate sector.

New York, London and Hong Kong have been thriving hubs and corporate headquarters for the real estate industry for decades. But they might not have the same appeal in the future.

Consistency in strategy and performance has led to strong investor support for the Chicago-based manager born after the global financial crisis.

What does it take to be a PERE 100 firm? Be big, global and diversified.

The constituents of the PERE 100 have enjoyed exponential growth in their fundraising, even as placing capital became harder. The pandemic should relieve that pressure.

Large-cap privatizations stateside contributed to the ranking being a net buying force last year, explains Real Capital Analytics managing director Simon Mallinson
