INREV asked members how satisfied they are with their membership. The survey covers general satisfaction and all areas of INREV activities: Professional Standards, Research  and Industry Data, Public Affairs, Training and Education and Communications and Events.

INREV's Annual Report and Financial Statements are available since 2009 and provide the Chairman's Report, Mission, History, Association Stucture, and describes INREV's platforms, committees, membership status, activities, and financial report.

This report compares the two most recent sets of standards produced by INREV and NCREIF PREA Reporting Standards: the INREV Guidelines 2014 and the NCREIF PREA Reporting Standards Handbook Volumes I and II.

This research aims to identify risk factors affecting the performance of non-listed real estate funds in Europe, controlling for their specific characteristics.

This study examines the options that fund managers consider as the termination date of their closed end funds approach. This study has been conducted annually since 2007.

The European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) imposes requirements related to derivatives entered into by financial businesses, including ordinary interest rate and currency swaps commonly used by real estate funds. Such requirements can include derivatives being entered into through a central counterparty and being subject to cash collateral posting, and in all cases derivatives must be reported to regulators. Although INREV supports the goal of improving transparency and stability on the OTC markets, it opposes overly costly and burdensome regulations being applied to real estate funds, which typically use interest rate and currency swaps simply to manage risk.

The non-listed real estate industry has grown considerably over the last decade and with it the interests and needs of market participants. The research objective of this study is to examine the current status and the influence of corporate governance on the volatility and returns of non-listed real estate funds, and seeks to address the following questions:

• How has corporate governance for the non-listed industry changed over the last twenty years?
• How does corporate governance affect fund performance, risk, volatility and capital raising ability?

There is increasing interest to better understand the performance between capital expenditure (cap-ex) and performance.

INREV’s latest academic research shows that high levels of cap-ex tends to have a more positive and significant impact on performance.

There are significant variations in levels of cap-ex, and the impact is greater in the UK and the USA than in Germany and the Netherlands. Offices tend to benefit from cap-ex in Germany and Netherlands, while it is a drag on future performance in the UK and USA.

The research looks at the case of Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA.
