ImmobilienRealassets

ImmobilienRealassets is a term used in finance to describe a subset of real assets that centers on real estate properties and related physical assets as investment objects. The concept distinguishes tangible real estate from financial instruments that derive exposure to real estate indirectly. In practice, ImmobilienRealassets encompasses direct ownership of residential, office, retail, and industrial properties, development projects, as well as investments in real estate debt, real estate-focused funds, and listed or private vehicles such as REITs or real estate mutual funds.

Valuation and performance are performed with income-based and cost-based approaches. For operating properties, metrics such as net operating income (NOI) and capitalization rates are used; discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis applies to development or value-add projects. Performance is driven by rent levels, occupancy, location, property quality, cap rates, financing costs, and macroeconomic factors.

Benefits include potential inflation protection, diversification, and stable cash flows; risks include liquidity constraints, real estate cycles, leverage, regulatory changes, environmental liabilities, and geographic concentration.

Within portfolios, ImmobilienRealassets serve as a long-horizon ballast and income source, complementing traditional equities and bonds. Trends include growth of ESG-oriented real estate, energy efficiency, and resilience; expanded access through funds, securitized products, and indirect exposure via listed or private vehicles.
