The 2021 Global Management Survey, published by INREV, Ferguson Partners and NAREIM reveals a bifurcated industry

The 2020 financial results reflect a varied picture of global real estate investment managers’ performance, where 38% of participants experienced more than a 10% increase in EBITDA, while 32% had more than a 10% decrease.

Key highlights: 

  • The 2021 Global Management Survey incorporates submissions from over 70 firms from across the globe, providing unique insights as to financial performance, organisational trends, and key operational benchmarks.
  • The latest results reveal a mixed recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unsurprisingly, employee numbers were impacted, with 42% of survey participants decreasing or holding their employee headcount steady in 2020, versus 26% in 2019.  
  • Looking ahead, managers globally are regaining confidence in anticipation of a relatively quick recovery, both in underlying real estate markets and operationally. More than three quarters of participants (77%) expect to grow their employee headcount in 2021.
