Details
While many factors play a role in shaping the current housing crisis, the role of institutional investors has come into sharp relief. In the first 3 months of 2021, 1 in 7 US homes were purchased by institutional investors—including private equity firms, pension funds, and publicly listed companies. In Europe, the rate at which investors are buying up housing is also accelerating, driving up housing prices.
How can investors balance fiduciary duty with the real-world impacts of real estate investing for years to come?
BSR, The Shift, SHARE, The Predistribution Initiative, Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), and Omidyar Network, will co-host an investor webinar to:
• Highlight the current global housing crisis and the role of real estate investment
• Demonstrate how adopting a “human rights approach” can ensure investment in real estate is responsible and safeguards a person’s right to adequate housing
• Mobilize asset owners and asset managers that wish to advance responsible investment in real estate
