Real Estate: Leveraging better data for better investment decisions
The discussion draws on Data at the Crossroads, our latest research with Funds Global Intelligence, the research arm of Funds Europe, and explores a growing tension across the industry. Many firms feel confident in their data, yet that confidence is increasingly tested by fundraising demands, regulatory scrutiny and the push to adopt AI.
Industry leaders share grounded perspectives on what they are seeing across markets and how operating models are evolving as expectations rise.
