Following the money: Europe has been the biggest beneficiary of an increase in global capital diversification
Of the almost $1 trillion (€901 billion) spent on commercial real estate around the globe in the 12 months between the start of April 2018 and the end of March 2019, one-third involved capital from cross-border investors. In its Active Capital report for 2019, Knight Frank puts this large proportion of globe-trotting capital down to a need for large investors to both diversify risk and chase enhanced returns.
