According to data from Preqin, many real estate opportunity funds raised in the past four years have yet to be deployed while investment in distressed assets have plummeted even further.
In an article for Bisnow, asset management partners Eric Requenez and Matt Posthuma discussed the challenges and considerations for real estate opportunity and distressed funds. “There's a number of legacy, closed-end funds that have not had as many dispositions of their assets and thereby distributions of capital to their investors. As a result, the investors don't have as much capital to reinvest in the next product,” said Eric.
Matt emphasized the importance of strategic fund creation, noting "the funds that I'm seeing that are most successful are the ones that have specific, distinctive, niche strategies where the manager can really say, ‘I'm an expert in this asset class, geography or type of investment.'”
