Real Estate | Zentrix Global Ltd.

Thanks to decades of experience in the property space, our real estate investment advisory team has the skills needed to provide essential research and insights on the global real estate market, helping clients confidently select and capitalise on landmark real estate opportunities worldwide.

What is real estate investment?

Real estate investment refers to the purchase of any property, or properties, with the intention of generating income or achieving long term capital appreciation from its acquisition. This is typically done through two investment methods: direct investment and indirect investment.

Direct investment

Direct investment is any investment in real estate for the purposes of rental income or future resale. For example, direct investment can often apply to properties bought using private mortgage lending for residential or commercial properties.

Indirect investment

Unlike direct investment, indirect property investments refer to the purchase of publicly traded companies that own properties, or the pooling of funds with other investors to build a diversified portfolio of real estate assets.

Why consider real estate investment banking?

For many high and ultra high net worth individuals, real estate is often considered an investment opportunity for expanding their portfolio, thanks to its tangible nature, potential for long term return, and clear portfolio diversification. Key reasons to consider real estate investments include:

A traditionally reliable hedge against inflation

Historically, real estate has proven to be a reliable long term investment, with the value of property typically appreciating over time at a quicker rate than inflation. This means wealth invested in real estate is likely to grow in value over time, no matter the rate of inflation. However, as with any investment, it is worth remembering that real estate investments still have the potential to depreciate in value.

Active involvement can influence returns

Real estate offers active control over an investment, allowing clients to actively manage a property to make improvements and increase its value. This involvement gives clients increased autonomy, compared to the sometimes intangible nature of a wholly passive portfolio.

A tool to build generational wealth

Real estate can be a valuable tool for generating and building generational wealth. Long term property ownership can maximise appreciation, while effective succession planning and estate administration services can ensure a smooth transfer of management to future generations.

Real estate investment philosophy

We believe that inefficiencies exist in opaque and illiquid real estate markets, and that using local networks and asset managers can help uncover compelling and mispriced investment opportunities for clients to capitalise on.

As mispricing is both capital and income related, this creates an opportunity for enhanced returns and low volatility, which, coupled with creative deal sourcing, intelligent structuring and management, can unlock and maximise the hidden value potential of a property.

Risk Warning

Risk considerations

Alternative investments may not be suitable for all clients.
The investment is subject to normal market fluctuations, and there can be no assurance that an investment will return its value or that appreciation will occur.
Funds with a single sector focus, such as real estate, will typically be more volatile than funds which invest broadly across markets.
Assets denominated in a foreign currency are subject to adverse movements if the relative value of that currency falls. Currency movements may also impact the value of underlying investments, as they strongly influence the market economy and the competitiveness of domestic and international companies.
There are special risks associated with investing in the securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry. These include the cyclical nature of real estate values, risks related to general and local economic conditions, changes in regulation and tax systems, and other real estate capital market influences.
If the chosen implementation is a concentrated fund which is unconstrained by benchmark weightings, the fund's performance can diverge significantly from any relevant index. For syndicated club deals, there is no liquidity once the investment is made: the investment is locked in for the life of the company.
