Japanese outbound investment: Growth in investment led by real estate funds
New funds formed by developers and trading companies have attracted investment from institutional investors this year, leading to an increase in acquisitions by real estate funds. Investment by real estate funds in H1 2019 amounted to US$820 million, the highest transaction volume by funds on a half-year basis since 2005. Based on trends among advisors to institutional investors, CBRE estimates that indirect investment (such as investment by institutional investors in funds and funds of funds) is likely to have exceeded US$ 7.0 billion since 2018 (Figure 2).

Asuka Honda, Director of CBRE Research, commented: "Outbound investment from Japan is expected to continue to increase, supported by a strong appetite among developers and trading companies to expand their overseas business, and a growing desire among institutional investors to seek greater regional diversification of their real estate investments. However, some institutional investors are becoming more cautious towards outbound investment due to concerns of a possible global economic downturn, meaning that the pace of overseas purchasing could slow."
