Q4 total returns climb to a 15 year record high

The INREV Quarterly Fund Index delivered a total return of 4.3% in Q4 2021, up from 2.9% recorded in Q3 2021.

The Q4 2021 release includes 321 funds with a combined GAV of €310.4 billion.

Key highlights:

  • The record quarterly performance was driven by an 87 bps increase in capital growth and a 48 bps increase in distributed income return
  • Both core and value-added strategies reported robust results of 4.4% and 2.7%, respectively. Core strategies powered ahead, widening the performance gap between the two to 163 bps this quarter
  • The industrial / logistics and residential sectors outperformed all other single-sector strategies, delivering their strongest quarterly results since the inception of the Index in Q1 2001
  • UK-focused funds posted a seventh consecutive quarterly improvement in total returns, outperforming all other single-country strategies in Q4 2021, with Dutch single-country funds in a firm second position
