2011 Global Property Market: Focus on Trends, Strategies, Opportunities, and Risks in Global Property Investment and Real Estate Development
TIMING THE MARKET. AVAILABILITY OF CREDIT. SOURCES OF CAPITAL.
Canadian institutional investors, funds and high net worth individuals have increasingly been examining and entering international property markets. Their interests have spanned from the United States, United Kingdom and other mature markets, to Brazil, China, India and various developing countries.
As they move forward in search of higher yields and cash flows, investors are weighing their risks carefully as a result of the hard lessons learned in the past. They are also evaluating the best possible strategy to participate in these foreign markets - by buying the real estate assets directly or by investing in REITs, funds and other more indirect approaches.
Introducing the 6th annual Global Property Market as a unique targeted opportunity for strategic information and networking on investment and development in the tier one countries and emerging markets around the world.
The conference will examine the most significant trends in international property markets. To what extent have these markets recovered their liquidity and economies strengthened? What are the major issues and challenges facing investors, owners, and private and public equity decision-making in a global context? Where is the re-pricing of risk heading in international markets? What are the key challenges that lie ahead for investors in 2012? Which markets are likely to attract the greatest investor interest? How sources of capital are they using? And what is the cost of that capital?
Global Property Market will be held Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. It will be convened jointly with the 20th annual Real Estate Forum, Canada’s largest annual conference for 2,250 senior real estate decision-makers. The Forum will begin immediately following Global Property Market on the evening November 29 and continue through Thursday, December 1.
At these two consecutive events, you will be able to make personal contacts with leading real estate decision-makers and advisors from Canada and abroad, exchange information, and be updated on the latest international investment, leasing, development and financing trends and opportunities.
We look forward to seeing you or one of your colleagues in Toronto in December.
