With UK real estate having delivered an 8.6% return in the past 12 months, it is an opportune moment to consider fresh allocations to the asset class. There are exciting opportunities across established and emerging sectors – warehouses (industrial and retail), urban centres (offices and residential) and the green energy transition (power provision, natural capital) – which align with the Government's agenda to promote private market assets that deliver economic growth and wider societal benefits, alongside strong financial returns.
