LIQUID REAL ESTATE

Invesco Global Real Estate Fund

Bringing daily liquidity to direct real estate. A unique strategy combining commercial real estate with liquid assets to provide access to a diversified global portfolio with daily pricing, and the potential for equity-like returns and bond-like income at potentially lower risk.

At a glance

The Invesco Global Real Estate Fund (GREF) is an Invesco Real Estate proprietary fund designed to provide investors with daily pricing and liquidity while accessing direct global real estate investments.

The strategy targets 70% direct, high quality real estate and 30% listed real estate and other liquid securities, cash and cash equivalents for liquidity. By adding a liquid component to the potential for stable income, diversification and strong relative performance (see chart below) offered by Global Real Estate investments, this strategy gives access to high quality, income-generating assets with daily pricing, making it particularly relevant for pension and insurance portfolios.

This data does not indicate that if the Invesco Global Real Estate Fund had, in fact, existed during the shown time periods that it would have achieved the hypothetical results shown and is not indicative of future results. Actual results would have differed. In each case, we are assuming an investment in Invesco Global Real Estate Fund is made on 1 January, the underlying strategies for the GDRE Lux call the capital immediately, and that there are no distributions during that time (or that distributions are reinvested), and the rebalancingofthe portfolio among the underlying strategies of GDRE Lux would have occurred quarterly at the strategic allocation.

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.

    Changes in interest rates, rental yields and general economic conditions may result in fluctuations in the value of the fund.

    Real estate investments are exposed to counterparty risk, which is the risk that a counterpart is unable to deal with its obligations.

    The underlying funds might make use of debt to finance investments which may result in the fund being more leveraged and may result in greater fluctuations in the value of the fund.

    Many Real Estate investments are illiquid, meaning that the fund may not be able to sell them quickly at a fair price and/or that the redemptions may be delayed due to illiquidity of the underlying investments.

    The fund uses derivatives (complex instruments) and borrowings, which may result in the fund being significantly leveraged and may result in large fluctuations in the value of the fund.
