The GPR/APREA AsiaPac Performance Snapshot tracks the dynamics of listed real estate securities (including REITs) across 12 AsiaPac countries/regions and eight sectors, over multiple time horizons.

  • On a ten-year basis, REITs outpaced rival asset classes, followed by equities.

As private equity firms aggressively seek new opportunities to grow their portfolios and their business, they are keenly aware of the pressures expansion and investor requests are placing upon their organizations. Given the significance that financial operations play at private equity firms, chief financial officers (CFOs) often occupy a pivotal role as the ones responsible for making certain that their firms maintain their competitive edge by operating at a high state of operational resilience and efficiency. CFOs have the key responsibility for technology transformation, oversight of talent and pursuing outsourcing arrangements that would allow their organizations to be highly efficient and scalable.

Infrastructure and real estate are the two most critical sectors in any developing economy.

A well-developed infrastructural set-up propels the overall development of a country. It also facilitates a steady inflow of private and foreign investments, and thereby augments the capital base available for the growth of key sectors in an economy, as well as its own growth, in a sustained manner. A robust real estate sector, comprising sub-segments such as housing, retail, hospitality and commercial projects, is fundamental to the growth of an economy and helps several sectors develop significantly through the multiplier effect.

However, both these sectors need a substantial amount of continuous capital for their development.

Infrastructure and real estate are the two most critical sectors in any developing economy.

A well-developed infrastructural set-up propels the overall development of a country. It also facilitates a steady inflow of private and foreign investments, and thereby augments the capital base available for the growth of key sectors in an economy, as well as its own growth, in a sustained manner. A robust real estate sector, comprising sub-segments such as housing, retail, hospitality and commercial projects, is fundamental to the growth of an economy and helps several sectors develop significantly through the multiplier effect.

However, both these sectors need a substantial amount of continuous capital for their development.

Currently, India’s real estate sector is the second largest employer in the country after agriculture and is slated to grow at a steady pace over the next decade. At the same time, the infrastructure sector, which includes segments such as energy, transport, water and sanitation, communication, and social and commercial infrastructure, is the focus area for key policymakers, banks and corporates to formulate and implement regulations. This is expected to ensure the time-bound creation of world-class infrastructure in the country. India’s real estate industry has witnessed a paradigm shift from traditional finance to an era of structured finance, private equity and public offering.
