Earlier this month, Nareit’s John Worth and David Sullivan completed a productive roadshow to London and Munich to engage with leading institutional investors, managers, and consultants, promoting both Nareit and the U.S. REIT market.
Highlights included in-depth meetings with REIT-focused investment teams at large, well-known U.K.-based investment managers. The Nareit team also provided U.S. market updates to U.K. investment consultants who are key influencers in the domestic pension market.
The trip offered the opportunity to reconnect with long-standing partners and establish several important new relationships. Meeting with investment teams at large foundations, reinsurers, and pension plans were great opportunities to introduce Nareit and the U.S. listed real estate story. Each expressed interest in deepening their understanding of the U.S. REIT landscape and appreciated the insights and data resources that Nareit offers to help them better study and understand the large and important U.S. listed real estate market.
Worth and Sullivan concluded in Munich with a meeting with the dedicated global REIT team at one of Europe’s most significant institutional investors, a fitting end to a highly successful outreach effort.
