Seizing 2025: LGPS Opportunities in European Real Estate Debt

David Renshaw, Co-Head of Fiera’s European Real Estate Debt Strategies, spoke to Room151 on opportunities in the asset class for LGPS investors.

This article discusses the outlook for the European real estate debt market for 2025 and the consequent opportunities for institutional investors.

We believe 2025 will be both a continuation and intensification of last year. The ongoing retrenchment of major banks from real estate debt sharpens the focus on alternative lenders, where a bolstered role in the market means they can invest in assets that are of an extremely high-quality and with leading sponsors.
