For decades, real estate investors benefited from constantly falling interest rates and predictable cycles, a world that has structurally ended. Today’s environment is marked by de-globalisation, constant volatility, and high-pressure economics, requiring a radical shift in how capital is invested.
This episode dives into designing resilient portfolios, navigating Europe’s cash-flow-led recovery, and understanding the vital role of capital formation. We explore the strategic adjacencies of real estate, like digital infrastructure and affordable housing, and the permanent rise of real estate private debt.
We are joined by Simon Martin, Senior Partner, Chief Investment Strategist and Head of Research at Tristan Capital Partners. Simon is one of the most widely followed voices on European real estate strategy, connecting the big macro picture with practical capital allocation.
THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT
Cycles less important due to volatility
De-globalisation drives strategic regional autonomy
Cash flow resilience leads U-shaped recovery
Real estate debt offers better collateral
Focus on the exit first, not buying
