Perennial Real Estate Investment has picked up an important new mandate from Australian Primary Superannuation Fund to manage a global property securities mandate.
The mandate, which was funded in March, was announced this week by the managing director of Perennial Investment Partners, Anthony Patterson, who said he regarded it as an endorsement of the Perennial Real Estate Investments team and the global asset class.
He said with over one-third of the Australian listed property trust market invested in offshore property, clients had indicated their preference for investing directly in the global property securities market.
Investors have slashed their US equity allocations to the lowest level on record, according to new data from Bank of America.
The message from experts in international trade and economists is that the Australian government should refrain from retaliating with reciprocal tariffs.
The market correction forecast by AMP’s chief economist is in full swing, with three weeks of turbulence culminating in significant losses on Tuesday.
Following a strong risk appetite in January, institutional investors have pulled back in February, with risk-seeking activity dropping to zero amid a decline in equity allocations.
