White papersThe Appeal Of European Net Lease To Non-European Investors
The global uncertainty created by U.S. tariff policy has unsettled financial markets and has cast a shadow on economic growth prospects. While the situation remains fluid with many moving parts, we believe that a corner of stability may be found in European commercial real estate, which has significantly repriced since market peaks in 2022, and where market fundamentals remain solid and macro–drivers broadly supportive.

The tightening cycle that followed more than unwound those gains, with values now back to 2018 levels.
