Residential real estate strategies have so far focused on leading urban centres across the UK. While Swiss Life Asset Managers will invest in these areas, they believe a greater social impact can be delivered by bringing to life under-invested locations across the UK.
By working closely with national and local government, the homes needed can be delivered and areas that have been starved of institutional investment can be regenerated. As well as providing verified and measurable impact, they believe financial returns to investors should be reliable and even stronger than more familiar locations.
Who was this event open to?
This event was open to asset owners such as pension fund trustees, in-house executives and independent advisers, professional trustees, government representatives and consultants.
