Appetite for real estate from family offices over the past year has been more than any other investor type"

In a recent Preqin Investor Outlook Report (Real Estate H1 2016) it stated that private wealth is an increasingly important source of capital to the real estate asset class, with wealth managers and family offices currently making up 17% of the real estate investor universe. The majority (51%) of private wealth firms are wealth managers, while multi-family and single-family offices constitute 25% and 24% respectively (Fig. 4.10).
As global numbers of high-net-worth individuals increase year on year, the importance of private wealth as a source of capital for the real estate industry is set to grow. Fifty-eight percent of fund managers surveyed by Preqin stated they had seen more appetite for real estate from family offices over the past year, more than any other investor type.
