Globally, real estate as an asset class and as an investment, has undergone a shift during the pandemic.

"Today's investment opportunities span a wide range of categories, including capitalizing on favourable occupier momentum linked to accelerated changes in how real estate is used, investing in assets that require some short-term repositioning and finding value in parts of the market that have undergone a long-term correction. As concerns around new variants of COVID ease, allowing workplaces and service- oriented industries to reopen more fully, occupier sentiment is expected to return quickly supporting a rebound in real estate space demand," said Rick Romano, MD, PGIM Real Estate and Head of Global Real Estate Securities Business.
"It is our endeavor to bring relevant and timely investment ideas to Indian investors and advisors. We are therefore proud to present our parent PGIM's global expertise in this asset class.
