The latest results of the Partners Group Thomson Reuters Private Real Estate Index confirm global private real estate’s sustained recovery, as the Partners Group Thomson Reuters Index posted its third consecutive calendar year of positive performance. On a three-year annualized basis, the surveyed private real estate strategies generated total returns of 9.5% per annum and were able to outperform both traditional stock and bond portfolios. The index is based on data contributed by 299 fund partnerships as of fourth quarter 2012, with data collected primarily through direct surveys.

This belief is shared by many institutional investors as evidenced by their efforts to increase their exposure to global private real estate.”
