January 8 2004--A slow recovery in equity markets combined with skepticism on the overvaluation of bonds has prompted an increasing amount of attention on alternative investment vehicles in 2003. This brief aims to explore pertinent issues related to the pan European property investment market from the perspective of private clients and wealth managers.

Scope

Quantified data from interviews with ninety six wealth managers

Coverage: France, Germany, Italy, Spain and UK

Report Highlights

Direct investment in real estate assets is found to be the most popular means of exposure offered by wealth managers across Europe, most noticeable in France and Germany.

75% of UK wealth managers have clients with less than five percent of assets invested in property vehicles, while only 17% of their clients have invested between 10 and 20% of their assets in this asset class.

Over a fifth of Italian wealth managers consider set up costs as formidable and a lack of in- house expertise as a further hurdle to offer
property as an investment class.
