Alternative Sectors: Opportunities in Non-traditional Sectors
In response to changing social norms and technological advancements, there is a rising trend of private equity funds and institutions allocating more to alternative real estate, seeking higher returns than traditional assets in a higher interest rate environment. Alternative assets, categorized into social, living, and infrastructure sectors, present advantages such as diversification, hedging, and higher returns. The Asia Pacific data centre market and the living segment, particularly student accommodation and co-living, are identified as rapidly expanding sectors.
