3 1. Executive Summary - Sample Pages Executive Summary The month of September 2008 has brought changes altering the entire face of the global fi nance industry. At the time of writing there exists a dark cloud of uncertainty casting a shadow over the global real estate industry, with the private equity sector failing to escape the negative effects of the turmoil in the markets. Activity within the sector is low, with fund managers fi nding it very challenging to raise vehicles as investors remain reluctant to make new long-term commitments in the current environment. In the midst of such a turbulent atmosphere it is very diffi cult to make predictions about how the real estate landscape is likely to evolve following this crisis, however, in the process of carrying out the research and analysis for The 2008 Preqin Private Equity Real Estate Review, certain trends and facts have emerged that provide some important clues as to the future of the private equity real estate industry. The fi rst three quarters of 2008 have seen signifi cant levels of capital being raised, and although there is evidence of a slowdown in Q3, it is still likely that 2008 overall will achieve the same record-breaking aggregate commitment levels experienced by the industry in However, although the headline capital levels being raised are broadly similar to recent years, the composition of the market in terms of fund strategy has changed considerably. As Fig. A shows, there has been a considerable shift towards private equity real estate funds focusing on debt, with debt funds raising 101% more in 2008 than Fig. A: Change in Capital Raised by Fund Type Fig. B: Average Fund Sizes Variations for Funds Closed Fund Type Change in Capital Raised between Q1-Q and Q1-Q Core-plus -15% Value Added -30% Opportunistic +5% Debt +101% 2008 Preqin Ltd 3

4 1. Executive Summary - Sample Pages in the same period of Opportunistic fundraising has also been strong, experiencing a 5% rise between 2007 and Investors have clearly been concerned over the ability of the core-plus and value added markets to create strong returns in the current market, and we have seen a 15% and 30% fall in commitments gained by these fund types between the two time periods. Fig. C: Growth of Funds on the Road Another important trend affecting the fundraising market has been the continued importance of very large funds to the overall fundraising market. Fig. B shows how the average size of private equity real estate funds has been increasing steadily in recent years, growing from only $425 million in 2005 to $934 million in This growth in fund size is likely to alter the dynamics of the market in terms of the size of deals and underlying investments that are being fi nanced. With investors increasingly showing faith with the larger vehicles that will be making larger underlying investments, smaller developers may fi nd it increasingly diffi cult to fi nd backing from the private equity sector in coming years as they increasingly fi nd themselves falling below the radar of the larger managers. It is also important to note that with deals becoming harder to fi nance, larger fund sizes may also be due to managers requiring more capital to complete deals using lower levels of leverage. The story of the real estate fundraising market has been a shift towards fewer funds of larger size managing to achieve a fi nal close - a situation that has kept the overall capital levels at comparable levels to the record climate of However, this changing composition of closed funds has not been refl ected by a change in the types of funds on the road seeking capital. There are still many smaller fund managers out there looking for capital, with a total of 181 funds with a target smaller than $500 million in size currently on the road. As Fig. C shows, the size of the fundraising market has continued to grow, and as of September 2008 there are a total of 379 funds seeking an aggregate $228 billion. With institutional investors seeming to favour the larger vehicles, this has led to a signifi cant build up of smaller vehicles in the market. With so 2008 Preqin Ltd 4

5 1. Executive Summary - Sample Pages many funds now in fundraising mode, this has increased the level of competition amongst fund managers to previously unseen levels. Are all these fund managers going to be able to raise capital in the current environment? Fig. D: Current Allcoations of Investors in Private Equity Real Estate Funds Fig. D shows the current situation of institutional investors with regards to their private equity real estate allocation based upon a survey carried out by Preqin. A sizeable 67% of investors are still short of their allocation to real estate, and so are likely to be making new investments in the coming months. There is no evidence that a large number of investors have turned away from the sector as a result of the tightening credit situation, and investors remain confi dent towards real estate private equity in the long run. Real estate funds are a long term proposition, and have performed extremely well in recent years. The institutional investors that are active in this market make commitments with a long term outlook, and as such are not easily deterred as a result of changes in the economic climate. However, although there is no evidence that investors are turning away from the sector, there is a strong suggestion that the current situation is serious enough to lead to new investment decisions being delayed until the long term global outlook becomes more clear. With major banking institutions failing, and with takeover bids and government intervention becoming commonplace, investors have been left unable to take faith in long term investments generally. The willingness to invest remains, but no due diligence process will allow for new investments to be made in vehicles that could conceivably fail if they have no way of fi nancing their deals if the credit markets were to seize up entirely. The long terms outlook remains uncertain, and so it would be foolhardy to predict how the private equity real estate market will be affected beyond suggesting that these fi rms will be increasingly turning to mezzanine fi nancing and other less conventional lenders in the coming months. There is even the possibility that some of the cash rich sovereign wealth 2008 Preqin Ltd 5

6 1. Executive Summary - Sample Pages funds of the Middle East, China and other regions might conceivably enter this space. One thing that is clear though, is that real estate fundraising is set to enter its most challenging era of all time. The very biggest fi rms may be able to gather commitments from previous investors, but many of the mid-sized and smaller funds that constitute a higher risk in the eyes of investors will fi nd conditions to be extremely tough. It is likely that although headline fundraising fi gures will continue to remain high, the number of funds closing will still leave a lot of medium- and smaller-sized funds on the road looking for capital. With so many funds out there seeking capital, the funding available to them from investors will be spread extremely thinly, and only those that are extremely focused will be successful in raising the capital that they targeted at launch. Indeed, many fi rms will fi nd conditions too challenging, and will shelve their fundraising efforts until the market becomes more settled and investors more receptive to making new investments. In market conditions such as these, access to a good source of market intelligence is vital for all industry professionals in establishing exactly who else is actively managing funds, what their strategies and strengths are, and who is investing at the moment. The 2008 Preqin Private Equity Real Estate Review is focused on providing a complete overview of current conditions, along with the vital intelligence to help achieve success in these tough times. For those involved with the investment decision making process, it is also a powerful tool in helping to evaluate all the many managers and strategies out there. For those developers that are interested in seeking investment from private equity funds, the review is the ultimate source of fi rm and contact information, while legal fi rms stand to benefi t from the fund terms and conditions analysis and listings that the Review contains. One thing that is clear from conversations that Preqin s analysts have held with institutional investors in recent times has been the level of importance that they attach to a fund manager s investment strategy including a means by which they will negotiate the conditions that have been aroused by the change in the global economy. It is those fund managers that are able to best convey a strong strategy for dealing with the credit crunch that will achieve the backing of investors in today s market Preqin Ltd 6

7 3. History of the Private Equity Real Estate Market - Sample Pages History of the Private Equity Real Estate Market Fig. 3.1: Number and Aggregate Value of Funds Raised Q Review of the Unlisted Real Estate Market Real estate investments take many forms and are a key component of any institution s portfolio. Institutions can invest into direct property, listed securities and also unlisted real estate funds in order to gain access to the real estate market. Unlisted real estate funds are a popular source of investment for institutions and have grown signifi cantly in recent years, allowing investors to get easier access to a portfolio of properties which have also yielded attractive returns. According to fi gures from the Preqin Real Estate Online Database, the unlisted real estate market has raised over $700 billion in equity from institutional investors, and with leverage has contributed well in excess of $1 trillion dollars to property projects all over the globe. Of the equity raised by unlisted real estate funds, private equity real estate funds account for over $500 billion, which accounts for approximately two-thirds of the unlisted real estate market. History of the Industry Recent years have seen private equity real estate funds grow from being a niche sector in the real estate asset class to being an important and essential component of any institutions investment portfolio. Fig. 3.1 shows yearly fundraising since 2000 and demonstrates the increasing appetite for private equity real estate funds among investors. The greatest change occurred between 2004 and 2005 when the amount of capital raised by real estate funds over doubled. Each year has broken records and despite recent market conditions, fundraising for private equity real estate still remains strong with 2007 seeing 184 funds raise an aggregate $107 billion and 2008 set to raise a similar amount to Preqin Ltd 7

10 16. Overview of Investors in Real Estate Funds - Sample Pages real estate provides and commit accordingly. As has been the growing trend in the last few years, appetite amongst current investors remains healthy, with signifi cant amounts of them having a target allocation that exceeds their actual allocation. Fig. 16.1: Current Allocations of Investors in Private Equity Real Estate Funds It is likely that the aggregate capital committed to the private equity real estate market will continue to rise in the coming years. This is supported by Fig. 16.1, which shows that a signifi cant 67% of investors have yet to meet their set target allocations to the asset class. Only 2% of investors with historic commitments to the asset class are unlikely to consider investments in the next 2 years; a fi gure more favourable for the private equity real estate industry than last year. Furthermore, 28% of investors are at or close to their target allocations, but are investing to maintain. These statistics suggest that spending patterns for private equity real estate investors will continue to bring increased amounts of capital to the asset class. A healthy investor appetite for real estate in general and private equity real estate in particular, is supported by the long-term intentions of investors in the asset class. Arkansas Teachers Retirement System, for example, wants to increase its long-term target allocation to real estate. In Q2 2008, the $13.4 billion public pension fund decided to increase its overall target real estate allocation from 5.5% of total assets under management to 10%. This refl ected a desire to increase its allocation to value added and opportunistic private equity real estate vehicles. The $36.6 billion Maryland State Retirement and Pension System also increased its target allocation to real estate, doubling it in Q from 5% of its total assets to 10%. Value added and opportunistic vehicles were set to gain particular attention from the US system. The above examples are not anomalies. Statistics remain positive across the private equity real estate asset class in regards to investor intentions for their private real estate portfolio. Investors are not backing away from private equity real estate vehicles. Rather, as Fig demonstrates, three quarters of investors in the asset class want to increase their long-term private equity real estate allocations. Only 2008 Preqin Ltd 10
