The U.S. remains a preferred global destination for commercial real estate investment with allocations up 6% from 2022, compared to a 5% decline in European investment, according to #AFIRE’s International Investor Survey: Q1 2023 Pulse Report. However, the survey, conducted in early 2023, found that continued interest rate increases weigh on access to capital, limiting reasonable financing and impeding transactions.

Global Investors Report Increased Allocations to U.S. Real Estate in 2023 - Connect CRE
www.connectcre.com
Investors globally are increasing their allocations to U.S. commercial real estate, although interest rate increases remain a concern, said AFIRE.
October Employment Numbers Point to More Fed Action.
October’s U.S. jobs report continued a months-long streak of gains, but also indicated a slowdown, said the @mortgage_bankers_association’s chief economist, Mike Fratantoni. “While the pace of growth slowed in September to 263,000, this is still faster than can be sustained in the U.S. economy over time,” he said. “And other data clearly signaling a slowing economy lead us to forecast a sharp drop in job growth over the coming months.”
In a research brief Friday, @marcusmillichapinc observed that both the unemployment rate and broader underemployment measure fell back to multi-decade lows in October. “A decline in the number of people without a job or seeking additional hours reflects a general lack of labor supply,” according to Marcus & Millichap. “This imbalance is supporting elevated wage growth and contributing to inflation.”

Cutting Through WFH/Hybrid Work Misinformation.
Depending on what you read, employees are demanding to work from home and remotely, or employers are adamant about getting people back in the office. Away from the emotionally laden headlines, the truth of the matter is that the trend is somewhere in between.
The “2022 @bomainternational COVID-19 Commercial Real Estate Impact Study” questioned 1,200 U.S. commercial office space decision-makers. Despite what headlines and pundits would have anyone believe, employers and employees both are supportive of hybrid work. In fact, more than six in 10 members of each group want to be back in the office at least three days a week.

Report Offers Climate-Risk Assessment Clarity.
The increasing frequency and severity of climate-change-driven weather events is driving the commercial real estate industry toward decisions focused on mitigating climate-change risks.
The challenge? “An array of climate analytics data, software and consulting services have emerged,” along with ever-growing changes in policy and regulations, according to the @urbanlandinstitute.
In an effort to address this challenge, the #ULI partnered with @laSalleinvestment on a recently released report: https://knowledge.uli.org/reports/research-reports/2022/how-to-choose-use-and-better-understand-climate-risk-analytics

Real estate investment manager #BridgeInvestmentGroupHoldingsInc with about $43.3 billion in managed assets has agreed to acquire Stamford, CT-based @NewburyPartners, a private equity secondaries specialist, for $320.1 million in an all-cash deal.
Bridge also entered into a $150 million note purchase agreement in which its operating company, Bridge Investment Group Holdings LLC, issued two tranches of notes in a private placement. The deal consists of $120 million of 5.99% notes with a 7-year term and $30 million of 6.10% notes with a 10-year term.
The company has also exercised an option to raise its senior secured credit facility from $125 million to $225 million.
The deal is expected to close in the first half of the year.

Connect Money`s Evening Brief: Feb. 13, 2023.
The financial world is embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). More than 100 finance industry organizations worldwide representing $11.2 trillion in assets under management have signed the voluntary #DEI Code, an initiative the @CFAInstitute launched last year. Organizations who have signed on represent about 10% of the industry’s global total, including the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, @Cambridge_Associates, @NuveenINV and #LGIMAmerica, among many others. The fact that major organizations in the financial world are intent on furthering DEI and measuring their progress is a positive sign for the movement.

Blackstone to Reportedly Buy Insurer Titan AIG’s $3.6B CLO Assets.
@Blackstone Inc. has brokered a deal to buy $3.6 billion collateralized-loan obligation (CLO) assets of insurer #AmericanInternationalGroup (AIG), @Bloomberg reported.
The deal, according to its sources, makes Blackstone the largest manager of CLOs. Prior to this deal, global investment firm @OneCarlyle Group was the largest player in the $1.2 trillion CLO market.
Following the acquisition of AIG’s CLO assets, Blackstone will have approximately $51 billion #CLOs in its portfolio.
Bloomberg said Blackstone and #AIG refused to offer any comment on the development.

Over 100 Investment Firms with $11.2T in AUM Sign CFA Insitute’s DEI Code.
@CFAInstitute announced that more than 100 finance industry organizations across the US and Canada representing $11.2 trillion in assets under management have signed the voluntary Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Code, an initiative the global association of investment professionals launched in February 2022.
The code revolves around signatories filing to the CFA Institute confidential annual reports on upholding six main principles: expanding talent pipelines; hiring and onboarding; promoting and retaining personnel; leadership accountability; fostering #DEI throughout the industry; and constant measuring and reporting of progress.
Organizations who have signed on represent about 10% of the industry’s global total. Signatories include the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, @Cambridge_Associates, @NuveenINV, #LGIMAmerica, #AlbertaInvestmentManagement, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, the Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Trust, #NorthernTrustAssetManagement and @WellingtonManagement.

Connect Money`s Evening Brief: Feb. 10, 2023.
Technology-focused private equity house #FranciscoPartner announced it will take software-as-a-service (#SaaS) data analytics firm @SumoLogic private for $1.7 billion in an all-cash deal. Shareholders of the Silicon Valley-based company will receive $12.05 per share. The transaction values Sumo Logic at 22.7% less than when the company first went public nearly 2 ½ year ago. Sumo raised $325.6 million on a market cap of $2.2 billion during the company`s September 2020 initial public offering. Private equity firms have taken advantage of the economic downturn to acquire publicly traded cybersecurity vendors at near bargain basement valuations; perhaps no more than #ThomaBravo. The private equity giant agreed to spend $12 billion on three identity protection powerhouses in 2022: @LifeAtSailPoint, @PingIdentity and @ForgeRock.

Brookfield Raises Record $93B in 2022 – Launches Fifth Real Estate Flagship Fund.
#BrookfieldAssetManagement, in its first letter to shareholders as a standalone company after it was spun out of parent #BrookfieldCorp. in December, said it raised a record $93 billion in 2022 across various funds, also adding the firm generated “excellent” financial results for the fourth quarter.
Among the banner raise was the fund’s fourth flagship real estate fund – Brookfield Strategic Real Estate Partners IV -, which raised $17 billion and was the largest real estate fund to close in 2022.
The firm held additional closes for its infrastructure and private equity funds at $22 billion and $9 billion, respectively. #Brookfield has targeted raising as much as $25 billion for the #infrastructure #fund.

Credit Suisse Takes Steps for CSFB Carve-out with $210M Klein Deal.
Former star M&A manager at @Citi group Michael Klein has been handed control of @CreditSuisse_Group’s investment banking unit after the Swiss bank agreed to pay $175 million for his 40-person advisory boutique, #MKleinAndCo.
Credit Suisse, which reported its biggest annual loss since the 2008 global financial crisis, is attempting to rebrand the #FirstBoston name and carving out the business with Klein at the helm as part of a comprehensive turnaround announced in October.

Connect Money`s Evening Brief: Feb. 09, 2023.
M&A activity among financial advisory businesses remains strong. In some cases, advisors looking to exit the industry and sell their firm to the next generation are driving deals. But most consolidation is attributed to firms’ growth strategies and finding scale. #WealthEnhancementGroup fits that model. The serial RIA acquirer remains an acquisition force as it announced the purchase of @WashingtonWealthAdvisors, a $273 million RIA. The firm has added more than $1 billion to its managed assets in less than two months with the acquisitions of @LegacyFinancialPlanning just last week, a hybrid RIA with over $371 million in assets; BFS Wealth Management, another hybrid RIA with over $523 million in assets and Ginsburg Financial Advisors, Inc., an independent #RIA with over $237 million in assets.

The Value of Commercial Real Estate Continuing Education.
Real estate continuing education (CE) courses are necessary, but they don’t have to be boring or painful. CE courses have a “grin and bear it” stigma—you need the credits to fulfill state #CE requirements and remain licensed, so there’s been no onus to make the courses interesting.
But in a time of digital innovation—and webinar fatigue—the same-old approach is outdated.
#ConnectClassroom CE courses are created with a poetic, user-centric approach to real estate continuing education. The courses are designed to be as enjoyable as they are educational, enhancing and extending your knowledge base with information you’ll want to start applying from day one.
Completing your continuing education requirements shouldn’t be dreadful—it should be enjoyable! Courses tailored to your wants and needs can take you from, “I have to watch this” to “I can’t wait to apply what I learned!”
