Benjamin Lam, EMEA Real Estate Funds Co-Leader, explains: “Real estate cannot be lumped together with other asset classes, it demands a voice of its own. REflexions is exactly that, a specialist magazine linking real estate professionals throughout EMEA and providing them with specialist views on the ever-changing landscape of real estate funds - written by experts for experts.”

The magazine features outlooks on developments within the sector, market trends, articles on technical aspects- such as tax and regulation- and brings the reader closer to leading figures in the real estate funds world via detailed interviews.

The first issue of REflexions takes a closer look at the UK real estate market by discussing what 2015 will bring compared to the excellent performance of 2014. The magazine features an exclusive interview with Pieter Hendrikse, CEO & Chairman of CBRE Global Investors in the EMEA region, and gives an overview of the developments within the real estate investment management industry also seen in the light of the merger between ING Real Estate and CBRE Global investors in 2011. To accommodate the growing focus on risk management in real estate investment management the magazines examines why risk is now on the top of the agenda for owners, developers, managers, investors and regulators. The first issue also looks in more detail at the changing requirements in terms of IT, cross-border distribution focusing on Alternative Investment Fund Managers (AIFMs), impacts and opportunities of Base Erosion and Profits Shifting (BEPS), and several other key topics.

David Brown, EMEA Real Estate Funds Co-leader, further details: “As we look to see what 2015 has in store, one thing is for sure: it looks to be another highly dynamic year. I am confident that REflexions will aid our readers in navigating the fast-changing world in which we find ourselves and help them gain valuable insights to prepare for future success.”
