ANREV has launched the fifteenth release of the ANREV ODCE Asset Level Performance Consultation Report.

The ANREV Asset Level Performance Report is not an index as the coverage is limited to assets held by 8 funds with a pan Asia core open end strategy.

The ANREV Asset Level Performance Report results are based on asset level data that is provided to ANREV directly from managers. Data collection starts immediately after a quarter has ended for a period of up to 6 weeks after quarter end.

Please provide feedback and comments to Amélie Delaunay, Daisy Huang or Eileen Chiu.

The fifteenth consultation release of the Global IRR Index includes 372 closed-end funds with non-core strategies, comprising of 322 value added and 50 opportunistic funds.

• The IRR of funds with a first closing post 2019 has decreased and became negative in Q2 2023.
