Summary
Private real estate investors and managers are looking beyond stressed Western markets, with the latest PERE Blueprint digest asking whether Asia is positioned to benefit from headwinds in Europe and North America. The weekly edition, published 15 October 2026, leads with news that a.s.r., the Dutch insurer and investor, has made its first-ever commitments to Asia-Pacific funds. According to PERE, the allocation has lifted a.s.r.'s overseas portfolio to around 10 percent exposure to the region across both its third-party and general account capital.
Elsewhere in the digest, Singapore-based ESR is moving into the Gulf region. Brookfield and CPP Investments are also making first investments in India, with Brookfield entering the warehouse sector and CPP Investments entering the hotel market.
On the manager side, Invesco has appointed new leadership for its European real estate business. The digest also includes PERE's exclusive Q3 fundraising data. Its broader fundraising coverage elsewhere on the publication's platform has described Q3 volumes as the lowest quarterly total since 2013, with just $30.74bn raised from funds closed in the period, though that figure comes from a separate PERE report rather than this edition. Full details of the digest are restricted to PERE subscribers.
