Real-Estate Conference Book 22 & 23 March 2022

The first week after MIPIM is the traditional timing for our KBCS Real-Estate conference. The FY22 result reports have been digested by investors and companies had a chance to meet with industry experts to set out their strategies for the near future. This conference book has 3 main sections :

A Macro-Economic background, since last year this has changed significantly and will continue to drive returns.
An ESG section with an intro to the panel discussion on WE 22/3 16h00 + Networking event afterwards.
The company profiles with the last updates and some relevant graphs and tables.

Recommendations
VGP in Logistics, Aedifica in Health Care are our favourite picks at the moment. In general we are positive for the real-estate segment relative to the overall market. We believe the panic of last year on the inflation shock was an over-reaction. Some quality names are relatively expensive, like Shurgard and WDP, but they will benefit in case distressed assets come to the market at a discount as they have the balance sheet headroom.
