Currently, certain key markets are experiencing very high entry prices compared to the revenues generated by certain assets. It is important therefore to identify sectors with a limited offering and which could see strong growth in rents, while the risks take their toll on the economic climate.
In this context, an analysis grid should be created in order to identify the markets where prices remain affordable and/or able to benefit from a favourable evolution to the rental market. Drawing inspiration from the finance sector, Primonial REIM Research and Strategy has developed an original tool for its investment strategies: “factor investing”. This approach consists of taking into account 6 factors that we have adapted to the real estate world across 50 criteria.
The six factors and the criteria upheld are as follows:
- Quality (growth in employment, deliveries of Grand Paris Express stations, stock, economic indicators and user indicators);
- Growth/Momentum (prospects of total return and cost of finance);
- Volatility (data on vacancy, market concentration, the future additional stock, the speculative offering, the historic volatility of the return);
- Value (rental data and data on pricing);
- Return (data on the real estate rate of return and the risk premiums);
- Liquidity (data on the investment market).
