Real estate Invesco Global Direct Property Fund

Our latest real estate fund offering, designed specifically to help DC scheme members gain access to global, direct real estate.
A high-rise building in Stockholm, with an abundance of windows, representing modern architectural design.
  • Daily liquidity

    This fund is for DC investors only. Its structure seeks to deliver daily liquidity whilst seeking to avoid the fund suspension challenges associated with UK property funds.

  • Global opportunities

    With 95% of investible real estate lying outside the UK, it makes sense to take advantage of the wider opportunities a global real estate approach offers.

  • Thematic approach

    Our investment methodology involves studying how human behaviour evolves and what this means for real estate – from demographic shifts to the rise of technology. 

  • Integrating ESG methodologies

    Historically, buildings with strong environmental, social and governance credentials are more likely to outperform.*

  • *Whilst the fund manager considers ESG aspects they are not bound by any specific ESG criteria and have the flexibility to invest across the ESG spectrum from best to worst in class. 

  • 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.

This is not to be construed as an offer to buy or sell any financial instruments, nor should it be considered a recommendation of any investment strategy for a particular investor.

Sustainability: our net zero initiatives

DC members may be focused in aligning their pension pot with their personal values. While sustainable buildings can historically carry a rental premium, real estate provides potential opportunities for investors to reach their personal sustainability goals while also enhancing their return potential.

    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 illiquid and difficult to sell, so the fund may not be able to sell its investments when desired and at the intended price.  The value of property is generally a matter of an independent valuer’s opinion and may not be realised. Real estate investments are typically not listed on regulated markets and need to be valued via the application of appropriate models (potentially applied by independent experts): this may lead to inaccurate valuations which may not be reflected into transaction prices.

    Changes in interest rates, rental yields, FX rates, market trends and general economic conditions may result in fluctuations in the value of the assets and of the fund and in the level of cash-flows generated. Real estate investments are exposed to counterparty risk, which is the risk that a counterpart is unable to deal with its obligations.

    The fund may use 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. Real estate investments can be exposed to new sustainability-related regulatory requirements and trends that may negatively affect the value of those assets which are not compliant and can envisage significant costs to be invested to comply or to simply improve their sustainability profile. In addition, real estate investments can be also significantly exposed to negative economic effects stemming from climate change, natural disasters and the general preference of investors for assets with better sustainability features.

    Real estate investments are labour-intensive and present a significant amount of human/manual inputs and activities, hence potentially exposed to several types of operational risks that may affect areas such as administrations, operations, reporting and others. The underlying funds might make use of debt to finance investments which may result in such 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.

    If on any given Redemption Day of the Sub-Fund, the applications for redemption of units of the Sub-Fund represent in aggregate more than: (i) 3% of the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund per calendar month, (ii) 5% of the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund per any rolling 90 calendar days period, or (ii) 20% of the Net Asset Value of the Sub-Fund per any rolling 356 calendar days period, IMSA may decide to (a) start applying the Monthly Investor Limit (as described hereafter), (b) cancel all requests received on such day, and/or (c) decide that no further applications for redemptions shall be accepted until the first redemption day of the following calendar month or until further notice. Any such decision will be published on the Website of the Sub-Fund (www.invesco.com/gdpf/en/literature.html). IMSA also reserves the right (irrespective of whether any limits have been exceeded) to limit the applications for redemption of units of the Sub-Fund to a percentage between 2% and 5% of each unitholder’s designation account per calendar month (the “Monthly Investor Limit”). Further to this where redemptions have exceeded lower redemption limits (as may be determined by IMSA), IMSA may decide that no further applications for redemptions or conversion shall be accepted until further notice.
