Real Estate Investment Focus
The Private Equity Info real estate data module tracks institutional investors that have a specific investment focus on the real estate sector. These firms include real estate investment trusts (REITs), real estate-focused private equity firms, hedge funds and other institutions that are active debt or equity investors in the real estate market.
Within this group of investors, the most common investment interest is on the acquisition of office properties, retail properties and residential properties. The chart below shows the breakdown of the database by real estate investment category.
