Real Estate

The world around us is digitizing. Digitization touches our lives on a daily basis, for instance in online shopping, renting accommodation through services such as Airbnb, or in flexible working using digital work stations. It impacts how we manage the real estate that we live in, work in and where we shop. This digitization also determines how we invest in real estate at Kempen. 

Digitization is exceptionally useful when investing in real estate. Data are collected on the many hundreds of thousands of properties around the world concerning their year of construction, dimensions, level of sustainability, rental income and costs, transaction values, tenants, lease terms, distance to motorways and airports, et cetera. Our long history of real estate investments enables us to find the right data points in this sea of Big Data. 

“Turning big data into investment decisions”

Jorrit Arissen
Every day, the Kempen Real Estate team collects 22.5 million relevant data points for 200,000 properties around the globe, processing these data in our data infrastructure into valuable investment information. The vast increase in available data helps us to make better assessments of the quality and risk of each real estate investment. This leads to better investment decisions and finally results in higher investment returns at lower risk for our clients.

“We apply a rigorous investment process with strong emphasis on balancing risks and returns”

Egbert Nijmeijer
Our team's continuous aim is to find those real estate investment opportunities that offer the optimal balance between risk and return. In analyzing risk our team will research the financial health and quality of worldwide available real estate companies. Important factors include the strength of balance sheet, the quality of the management, and the corporate governance and environmental impact of the company concerned. We exclude risks from our investment process that we cannot oversee such as regional differences in interest rates, currency movements and macro economic developments. We are a real estate specialist and all risk budget is assigned on the real estate itself. Based on the aggregate information, we will take a decision as a team on those investment opportunities that offer the best possible return against the lowest risk for our clients.

Asset Allocation update August

Concerns are mounting in financial markets. Is the global economy heading for a recession? If we look at global bond markets we see worrying signals. Interest rates fell off a cliff the past weeks, to an extent that the bond market appears to price in a recession in the near future. However, equity and credit markets are showing a different -more optimistic- picture.

Private Markets Investor Letter

At the end of the second quarter, our participants have committed a total of EUR 98.7 million in capital to the Kempen Private Markets Fund. We have committed almost the same amount to ten partnerships and two direct co-investments – a well-diversified portfolio. In this quarter we allocated additional capital to three current investments in the portfolio, so that the allocations to the various categories are more in line with the target weights. We also saw a lot of activity at the underlying partnerships level and we are very satisfied with the build-up of the portfolio. All investments are focused on good value-creation strategies. We will elaborate on all of these topics in this quarterly report.
