The case for thinking beyond home markets

Register to watch the webinar replay of Nuveen Real Estate's Head of European Research, Angela Goodings, Head of European Debt, Christian Janssen, and Fund Manager of the European Cities Strategy, Andrew Rich, for an in-depth discussion on the compelling case for building a multi-regional real estate portfolio.

Drawing on Nuveen's latest proprietary research, this session explores why most institutional portfolios remain heavily concentrated in home markets — and why thinking beyond those boundaries can unlock meaningful risk reduction and return efficiency across a global investable real estate universe worth approximately $12.5 trillion.

Our expert panel presents a data-driven case for geographic diversification, offering insights into how expanding beyond home markets can enhance portfolio resilience and long-term performance.

Further areas of discussion:

• Why domestic diversification benefits can plateau after just five assets
• How low correlation alone can strengthen risk-adjusted returns
• Opportunities in debt and core across different sectors and geographies
• Currency fluctuations and hedging considerations
• The DNA of cities
• Nuveen's methodology of selecting outperforming cities
• Protecting against the risk of illiquidity
