Real estate fundraising stalls in second quarter

The world's biggest investors are shifting in favour of lower-risk assets, finds data provider Preqin

Real estate fundraising stalls in second quarter

Real estate fund managers raised their lowest total in five years in the second quarter of 2018, as megafunds failed to hit the road — but big investors are still keen, according to the latest report from analysts Preqin.

Preqin said that 47 funds completed their fundraising in the months between April and June, securing a combined $22bn. That was the lowest quarterly total since 2013.
