ANREV is pleased to present its 2015 year-end newsletter for Japanese market which includes Chief Executive's message from Alan Dalgleish, a rounds up of the Association's activities and achievements in Japan in 2015.

ANREV代表のアラン・ダグリッシュより年初のご挨拶を申し上げると同時に、2015年度の日本におけるANREVの活動内容をご報告いたします。

ANREV is pleased to present the results of its third global Investment Intentions Survey with a specific focus on non-listed real estate funds. The survey was conducted in conjunction with the European Association for Investors in Non-listed Real Estate Vehicles (INREV) and the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA). By joining the forces of all three organizations, the survey is able to present a truly global view on expected trends and investment intentions within the real estate industry. This is the ninth edition of the regional survey which attracted 221 respondents in Asia Pacific compared to 205 in 2015: 96 investors (44%), 14 fund of fund managers (6%) and 111 fund managers (50%).

Chapter 2 explores global real estate allocations, providing insight into investment trends globally, and is based on the full sample of respondents. This is a joint chapter that can also be found in the INREV and PREA 2015 Investment Intentions reports.

Chapters 3 through 6 focus on the Asia Pacific real estate market, including insights on preferred structures, markets, sectors, and styles. These chapters are based only on those investors, fund managers, and fund of fund managers who are already invested in the Asia Pacific market or intend to do so in the next two years.

In the final chapter, for the second time we have invited Real Capital Analytics (RCA) to present its analysis of the relationship between the predictions within ANREV Investment Intentions Survey 2015 and the investment activities that followed in the past year, using its database of global transactions in that particular year.

It is an index showing the performance of non-listed real estate funds on a global scale and is created by ANREV, INREV and NCREIF. This publication includes the performance figures up to Q3 2015.

The GREFI was updated for the first time on a quarterly basis following the first quarterly release of the ANREV Index for Q1 2014. From Q1 2014 onwards, the GREFI has been updated 12 weeks after the quarter end. This index release follows the same structure of previous releases. The technical specification has also updated and all numbers are also available in an Excel file.

The GREFI Q3 2015 update release includes the performance of 454 funds compared to 389 funds as of Q2 2015. This difference is due to the inclusion of US closed ended value-added and global funds for the first time (global funds that have a global target strategy).
