Real Estate

Real Estate investment has solid fundamentals that can help investors seize opportunities arising from fast-growing trends in offices, retail or logistics.

The current disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic has occurred in a healthy leasing market for logistics and offices in Europe, with an office vacancy rate that is on average lower than before the Great Financial Crisis. 

Despite a rise in the third quarter of 2020, office vacancy rates remain at low levels in the central business districts of the main European markets, limiting the impact on rents. Low interest rates should support the recovery, starting from high-risk premiums on European prime real estate yields. Finally, the ongoing repricing calls more than ever for a focus on core high-quality assets and portfolio diversification.

Amundi’s pan-European diversification strategy for property management relies on over 40 years of expertise and on local partnerships with experts in several countries. We are therefore able to build the local ecosystems we need for the acquisition and management of our property assets. European real estate markets are diverse enough to provide opportunities that depend upon the economic situation, prospective, and major events that occur locally.

With its fundraising power, Amundi has the ability to take part in Europe’s major real estate transactions, with over Eur2bn invested every year on average. Around 50% of these investments are carried out in France, while the other half is carried out across a selected number of European countries including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Luxemburg.

Office buildings represent nearly 70% of our assets under management, but our diversification strategy leads us to cover all segments of the real estate market, from hotels through to warehouses and to commercial buildings.
