Why Real Estate Investing?

From climate commitments, regulation, and risk, to both the pitfalls and potential of data, the real estate investment universe is in flux.

MSCI Real Estate’s analytical solutions make it easier to manage investments, and capture performance and opportunity across private and public assets.

Our Clients 

Whether you are an asset owner looking to capture the complete vista across private and public real estate, a wealth manager focused on building more sustainable portfolios or a REIT targeting a specific market segment; we provide critical investment tools and benchmarks, whatever your strategic aims, wherever your geographic focus and across the entire liquidity spectrum.

REITs in focus

MSCI is committed to supporting REITs - and other publicly listed investment vehicles - build better portfolios, through investment tools, market data and actionable insights, whatever their strategy.

Our rich dataset and analytics allow our clients to better communicate trends and report performance to stakeholders as well as improve operations across balance sheet management, asset management and remuneration frameworks.

Sustainable solutions

Climate change impacts, related financial disclosures and ESG reporting is progressively shaping how REITs approach risk management, portfolio performance optimization and investor communication.

MSCI is an industry leader in ESG and our real estate solutions support climate scenario stress testing, allow you to integrate ESG metrics and data, set climate objectives - such as Net Zero/ 2050 - demonstrate how climate has played into your key investment decisions and fulfil disclosure requirements such as TCFD reporting.

Our market data, performance and risk analytics give you the ability to isolate and understand how equity market factors, financial structures and individual properties drive performance. And our robust and objective benchmarks align with your strategy and can be customized in line with your objectives.

Differentiate your offer

Communicating how your strategy is delivering returns and effectively managing risk, is key to great investor relations and your company’s ability to raise capital.

Our real estate investment solutions and standard, customized indexes allow you to benchmark performance against the market and can create clear blue water between competitors by demonstrating climate credentials, track record or portfolio resilience across the cycle.

Real Estate Solutions

Our expert consultants and researchers know that any lack of transparency or comparability with other asset classes can muddy an investor's assessment of risk and performance and can make governance and reporting more challenging.

We also know that simply more data, without the capability to connect the dots, is not enough.

That is why as strategies become more sophisticated and investors demand more insight into risk and performance drivers and drag, we focus on delivering client value far beyond the reporting cycle.
