French property 'supporting real estate funds'

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT

A new report looking at the performance of pan-European property funds has revealed assets in France are among those supporting returns from these investment vehicles.

The IPD study pointed out the stability of the German and French real estate markets, which together account for nearly half of the assets held by the funds surveyed, "supported the continuing recovery in returns".

According to the organisation, these investment vehicles have greater exposure to France, with 29 per cent of the funds' collective holdings in the nation, compared to 19 per cent in Germany.

In 2011, French real estate delivered returns of seven per cent, 1.4 per cent less than the earnings generated by properties in Germany.

A survey published by CB Richard Ellis earlier this month found that France - and in particular Paris - will continue to be on the radar of real estate investors in 2012.

The firm noted Paris is the third most-attractive city in Europe for property purchasers, with nine per cent of respondents describing the French capital as the best place to buy this year.
