Executive Summary
The 2015 Global Investor Intentions Survey shows that global
real estate investors remain confident and their intentions
are strongly expansionary. The appetite for cross-regional
investment is increasing and more investors intend to deploy
capital outside their own region this year.
Despite the strong liquidity in the investment market, investors
are concerned about the intense competition for assets. Pricing
is identified as the biggest obstacle to making acquisitions.
There continue to be worries over economic weakness but there
are encouraging signs of recovery in the U.S. and sustained
growth in Asia.
Tighter yields in most markets are prompting investors in
EMEA and North America to place a stronger emphasis on
value add and opportunistic investments for higher returns.
In contrast, investors in Asia Pacific intend to increase their
focus on acquiring core assets in 2015. This trend is partly due
to the increased participation of long-term low risk-tolerant
institutional investors both from Asia and internationally.
The survey suggests that in the coming year investors are likely
to rebalance their portfolios and switch from market sectors
that are perceived to be overpriced. Second tier and smaller
cities are gaining popularity but London remains the preferred
city. Offices are the favoured asset class whilst retail is lagging.
Alternative property sectors such as student living, healthcare
and retirement homes are seeing stronger interest.
Overall, the mood among investors remains upbeat and buying
demand will exceed selling pressure. CBRE believes 2015 will be
another strong year for the global real estate investment market,
with capital flows expected to increase by 10-15%.

Capital flows into global real estate increased to
US$835 billion in 2014, a figure almost four times
greater than the US$232 billion recorded in 2009.
EMEA posted the greatest increase in capital flows
in 2014, followed by Asia Pacific and the Americas
(Figure 1). On the back of the ample liquidity, capital
values have outpaced more moderate rental value
growth, resulting in tighter yields (Figures 2 and 3).
Total cross border capital flows into all types of
investment, including stocks and bonds, have been
level over the past three years (Figure 4), reflecting the
general nervousness about the global economy. By
contrast, capital flows into real estate have picked up
sharply. We think this trend will continue in 2015.

GLOBAL INVESTOR INTENTIONS SURVEY 2015
Global Investors
are Upbeat
Our view on the continued buoyancy of real estate
capital flows is supported by our survey. Investor
intentions for 2015 remain strongly expansionary
(Figure 5). Fifty-three percent of respondents said
they plan to increase their purchases this year, a
slight decline on the 61% recorded in the 2014 survey.
Last year was a particularly strong one for global
real estate investment and it is natural for investor
intentions to moderate slightly.

The globalisation of commercial real estate
investment was reflected by the 40% y-o-y growth
in cross-regional capital flows in 2014, a figure well
above the overall market (19% y-o-y). This trend is
expected to continue and is supported by the survey
findings of investors’ intentions to invest outside
their region of domicile. Investors’ appetite for
cross-regional investment (investors from EMEA,
North America and Asia Pacific investing outside
their own region) grew significantly, with 38% of
respondents saying they intend to invest outside
their own region this year, up from only 28% in 2014
(Figure 8).

The increase was largely due to more North
American investors intending to invest
internationally (Figure 9). The economic picture in
the U.S. continues to strengthen and is boosting
investor confidence. This is underpinning demand
among domestic investors to place capital not only
within the country, but also in overseas markets.
The improved purchasing power of the U.S. dollar
is also supporting the flow of U.S. capital into
other regions. However, investment returns and
diversification remain the most important factors
supporting outbound investment.
Asia Pacific investors have the strongest appetite for
outbound investment at 40%, although the figure
was slightly down on last year. Cross-border real
estate investment by Asian investors surged by 23%
y-o-y in 2014. Many groups in this region are likely
to slow the pace of building up their global property
holdings after expanding so rapidly in recent years.
This is supported by the survey findings that fewer
Asian investors plan to increase the amount they
invest outside the region compared to last year.

Preferred Region:
Western Europe is the
Top Destination
Among investors looking to invest outside their own region, 31% of respondents identified Western Europe
as the top destination (Figure 10), which is also the region that received the vast majority of cross-border
investment. Despite the slowdown in China, 27% of investors regarded Asia as their preferred location,
perhaps due to the fact that economic growth here still comfortably outpaces other regions and continues to
offer significant long-term potential.
Eleven percent of respondents identified Central and Eastern Europe as their top destination, a huge result
relative to the size of these markets. Whilst markets in this region are small, they are showing distinct signs
of economic revival, prompting investors to take an interest.

With the exception of North America, investor
interest in retail assets continues to fade as
structural changes in the sector such as the rise of
e-commerce and other new formats discourages
investment. Decline in investor interest in retail
may also be explained by the fact that it is a more
challenging sector to manage, as large shopping
centres in many markets are tied up in REITs and
high street retail units have small lot sizes and
are consequently difficult to build up into large

interest in most alternative sectors outpaces existing investment. Real estate debt is the preferred option this
year as investment is being supported by the availability of debt products such as CMBS.

Investors indicated that they are moving up the
risk curve in search of higher returns. Around half
of survey respondents said that they will focus on
value add and opportunistic investments this year,
up from 43% in the 2014 survey (Figure 15).
EMEA and North America both saw a marked
increase in investor interest in value add and
opportunistic investments (Figure 16), as indicated
by the increased appetite for assets in second-tier
markets.
In contrast, Asia Pacific saw a significant jump
to 43% in this year’s survey compared to 29% in
last year’s survey in the percentage of investors
preferring prime or core assets. Risk appetite in
this region is now polarised at each end of the

Strong Pricing to
Drive Portfolio Rebalancing
advisors who really understand the local market in
order to meet their investment goals.
Respondents identified overpricing and economic
slowdown/weakness as the main threats to property
markets in the coming year (Figure 18). There is also
increased concern about the potential for financial
and political crises. Despite these worries, CBRE
believes the global real estate market will continue to
offer good spreads with a modicum of rental growth.
Investors showed significantly lower concern over
tapering in the U.S., rising interest rates and/ or the
threat of inflation. Only 5% of respondents selected
this as the biggest threat, down from 24% in 2014.
Two reasons for the drop are the greater clarity
provided by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) and
the stronger performance of the U.S. economy.
This has also boosted the acceptance that the Fed
will increase interest rates later in 2015. Further
loosening by central banks elsewhere has also
helped lower concerns over interest rates. Higher
interest rates and lending costs are challenges that
investors will need to prepare for, but not for the next
couple of years.
Investors are set to increase their selling activity in
the coming year (Figure 19) as they look to rebalance
their portfolios and offload non-core assets. They
may switch from market sectors that are perceived to
be overpriced to assets that provide higher returns.
However, buying demand will still exceed supply.
Given investors’ intentions to increase investment in
2015 alongside the challenge of a very competitive
marketplace, they will need to work hard and be
creative; be proactive in locating assets; and choose

Conclusion
The 2015 Global Investor Intentions Survey shows that global
real estate investors remain confident and their intentions are
strongly expansionary.
The appetite for cross-regional investment is increasing and more
investors intend to deploy capital outside their own region during
2015. Many investors plan to move up the risk curve in search of
higher yields, a trend that is expected to result in a stronger focus
on value add and opportunistic investments in the coming year.
Whilst pricing and potential interest rate hikes remain a concern,
CBRE believes that 2015 will be another strong year for the global
real estate investment market, with capital flows expected to
increase by 10%-15%.
