Real Estate Asset Allocation Model

The RES Asset Allocation Model offers an intuitive framework for real estate portfolio construction, complete with tailored risk considerations and supported by quarterly updates and client support. Fully customisable to your organisations’ requirements, the key benefits of the RES approach lie in its systematic evaluation of each driver of return (growth, vacancies, and costs). By stepping through each factor’s impact on portfolio risk and return, with clearly defining assumptions, the whole organisation gains an understanding of the sources of risk and return. With swift installation, your team can promptly integrate and utilise the model.

Real Estate Forecasting Model

The RES Forecasting Model projects total return, capital growth, rental growth, and yield change estimates for 64 categories of the UK real estate market, allowing users to design economic scenarios and analyse their effects on market returns. Each quarter, Oxford Economics projections and the MSCI Quarterly Index are used to pre-populate the model.

Please note, you need to subscribe to MSCI Global Intel to use this service.

• The net income receivable and capital values are used to build all of the MSCI standard market performance measures.
• Deductions are made from income for letting costs, rent reviews fees and lease renewal fees and from capital returns for refurbishment costs/maintenance.
