Is debt emerging as the latest alternative investment? With the retail investors under pressure, the office being hit by uncertainty and record tight yields for logistics assets, debt is emerging as an attractive alternative to access traditional asset classes. The panellists consider debt as an alternative instrument to access the traditional asset classes and discuss how investors can hedge against value uncertainty as well as record tight yields

As pressures to reduce the world’s carbon footprint towards a net zero carbon future mount, real estate investors and developers need to adapt to the growing demands from their most important stakeholders: regulators, investors and customers (tenants). The entire asset lifecycle - from conception, to operations, and transactions - needs to be updated, in order to respond to these growing, and in many cases - overwhelming, pressures. How can the sector make sense of the myriad of ESG and sustainability frameworks and guidelines being published, and does the industry really know how to compare one bold claim against another? To what extent is the industry actually addressing this and how is C-suite management culture and strategy evolving to accommodate these changes? Are efforts to provide more clarity actually adding to the confusion and the very real risk of greenwashing?
