An inside look at PERE’s 100 Most Influential list
Real estate is a people business, and this month, PERE is highlighting those that have made their mark on the asset class. On this episode, we take a deep dive into PERE’s second-ever Most Influential list, ranking the individuals who've made the biggest impact on private real estate over the 10-year period since we last compiled such a list in 2015.
Numerous forces have reshaped the industry during the intervening decade – a global pandemic, a sector reshuffling, the proliferation of debt funds and the emergence of numerous new sources of capital – and the ranking reflects each of these trends in different ways.
Listen as host Greg Dool sits down with PEI Group’s real estate editor-in-chief Jonathan Brasse, PERE editor Evelyn Lee and PERE Credit editor Samantha Rowan for a breakdown of the key takeaways, as well as an inside look at the process behind the list and what it says about real estate’s evolution as an asset class.

Is “defense” the next major theme in private real estate? Are sector-based investment strategies outdated in the current market cycle?

In this episode, PEI real estate editor-in-chief Jonathan Brasse speaks with François Trausch, chief executive and CIO of PIMCO Prime Real Estate, to discuss these questions and more in an exclusive breakdown of the Newport Beach, California-based manager’s latest annual real estate market outlook.
Listen as Brasse and Trausch discuss real estate’s evolving place in investors’ portfolios, focusing on resiliency across property sectors, why traditional investment strategies need to be reconsidered at a time of “structural” uncertainty, and much more.

Will European defense spending provide a boost for real estate?
The fraught macroeconomic climate and its impact on property markets has been a regular topic of The PERE Podcast as investors allocate capital in a deglobalizing world.

Unlocking potential in Dutch residential: Global capital is key
This episode is sponsored by Bouwinvest Real Estate Investors
The Dutch residential market has remained resilient despite economic turbulence and rising interest rates and is now emerging as a prime destination for international investors.
In this episode, Paul van Stiphout of Bouwinvest Real Estate Investors and Jorrit Arrisen of Van Lanschot Kempen Investment Management unpack the forces driving the market’s strength – from a deep-rooted rental culture and robust occupancy levels to increasing demand for senior and student housing.
With the Netherlands facing a housing shortfall, Van Stiphout and Arrisen discuss how foreign capital will be essential to bridge the gap. They also explore how demographic trends and public funding cuts are creating opportunities in niche sectors, such as senior living, which saw investment jump to €724 million in 2024.
The PERE Podcast features a weekly discussion between members of our senior editorial team spanning formation, strategy and deployment, and regularly draws from the ongoing coverage of PERE, as well as affiliate titles PERE Credit and PERE Deals. We also occasionally host sponsored interviews providing analysis-led commentary about the biggest events in private real estate capital markets around the world.
