Episode 382: Institutional Real Estate Investors Largely Sidelined for Now; See REITs as Complementing Strategy
b"
Doug Weill, founder and co-managing partner of Hodes Weill & Associates, a leading global capital advisory firm, was a guest on the latest episode of Nareit\\u2019s REIT Report podcast.
Hodes Weill recently released the 2023 Real Estate Allocations Monitor, which showed that institutions\\u2019 target allocations to real estate were flat at about 10.8% year-over-year.
\\u201cInstitutions are very cautious in the market today. And while they're reasonably optimistic about the opportunity to invest over the next couple of years, right now in the moment there are numerous cross currents,\\u201d Weill said.
At the same time, several large institutions have increased their target allocations over the past 12 months, Weill noted. \\u201cI think that has been a signal to the market that they are encouraged about the opportunity to invest and perhaps lean into the opportunity.\\u201d Such institutions include Norges Bank and CalSTRS.
