Investing techniques and strategies evolve fast. See what different focuses are being applied across varying global regions…
Savvy investors are always looking for ways to develop traditional methods into more modern iterations, and of course there is a constant strive for new and innovative ways to leverage assets and opportunities.
Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of this continual development is how different regions focus on varied investment and asset types. By looking at these we can gain valuable insights into how investors are rethinking their systems and processes across the world.
Asia Trends: Tech and Digital Infrastructure
A focus on investments in these areas, along with an emphasis on emerging markets like China, India, and Indonesia are all leveraging the ever-growing investor relations community in East Asia. Core-plus and value-added investment strategies are also projected to gain momentum throughout 2025.
EMEA: Sustainability at the Forefront
Sustainability is a key consideration for 95% of European investors surveyed by CBRE in their 2025 Investor Intentions Survey. A focus on investments aligned with governance, ESG integration, and sustainability goals, which has seen lots of traction in recent years, will continue to remain strong.
North America: A shift to opportunities outside the U.S.
Better risk-adjusted returns are being cited as one motivator for U.S. based investors to potentially look outside for investment opportunities.
This, allied with expected low single-digit returns in the U.S. market and cooling domestic demand, means a market traditionally focused on private equity and venture capital could be set for a readjustment.
Keeping On Top of Innovation
Staying up to date with global investment trends helps maintain an informed, responsive and diversified portfolio.
