Invesco Real Estate Europe: Open for Business
Andy Rofe. Managing Director, Head of Europe, Invesco Real Estate; Mike Bessell. European Research Strategist, Invesco Real Estate.
How is Invesco Real Estate in Europe responding to the COVID-19 outbreak in terms of business continuity processes? How is this enabling our ongoing focus on full active management of the existing assets we manage on our clients’ behalf?
First and foremost, Invesco Real Estate remains open for business across Europe:
- We are continuing to actively engage with both occupational and investment markets;
- Our investment strategy coming into this crisis offers considerable protection to our existing holdings;
- It is too early to tell what the impact will be on valuations in European real estate as we go through Q2, but we expect some correction through the course of the year; and
- We will continue to react appropriately to acquisition opportunities that do present, where these meet our investment strategy.

Investment risks
-
The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Property and land can be difficult to sell, so investors may not be able to sell such investments when they want to. The value of property is generally a matter of an independent valuer’s opinion and may not be realised.
