Due to the growing maturity of alternative real estate assets, alternative portfolio composition that once relied on ground-up development of assets can now be formed by acquiring stabilised assets across selective markets. This provides a significant opportunity for investors in alternatives to drive outsized returns – particularly while there is lower competition from other investors.

Alternatives have maintained high occupancy and strong rental growth compared to the commercial sectors, such as offices and retail.

Consistent performance through black-swan events over the past few years has proven alternative sectors’ ability to provide durable income for investors.
