The real estate industry has been running slightly counter-cyclical to the wider private capital industry in recent quarters. While fundraising in private equity and private debt has been declining since the mid­dle of 2018, real estate funds surged to their highest fundraising in over a year in Q1. That peak has been followed by a steep decline in Q2, however, and the number of funds closing has fallen to levels not seen in over a decade. What future can the industry expect in the coming quarters?

In this Q2 2019 edition of the Preqin Quarterly Update: Real Estate, we present the latest data on fundraising, funds in market, investors, deals and performance. In addition, we welcome exclusive commentary from RSM US LLP, who discuss the key sectors in real estate right now, Opportunity Zones and attractive opportunities for investors in the US.

All of the data in this report is also available to download in Excel format.
