SLIDE 8 Focused on the Future of Real Estate
NEGATIVE SHORT TERM IMPACT , BUT UNCERTAIN LONG TERM REPERCUSSIONS
KEY VIEWS
- Prime market rents have declined when corporate bond yields have moved out,
but investors are protected in the short term due to existing lease contracts
- In the short term, we expect practical issues with site visits and underwriting
to temporarily slow down investment activity.
- If stock markets remain where they are now, we expect capital values to come
down - albeit more slowly than equities.
- Uncertain long term repercussions as many new protective fiscal and monetary
policies are not yet fully implemented and priced into the financial markets.
- In contrast to the GFC, the current health crisis could be temporary as
fundamentals were strong at its outset, possibly signalling a V-shaped recovery.
