Why us?
Residential real estate, or ‘Living’ sectors, typically spans multi-family and single family housing, affordable housing, senior living and purpose built student accommodation. We believe that the defensive nature of housing and acute supply and demand imbalances in many markets offers long-term attractive rental growth prospects and the potential for strong risk-adjusted returns.
Living sectors can also offer improved capital preservation and diversification potential versus other asset classes and real estate types. Underpinned by diversified cash flows from leases to individual residents, investing in Living sectors may offer the potential to mitigate against higher inflation through mark to market rental increases or index-linked rental uplifts, which can be an attractive feature for long-term investors, in our view.
Demographic trends continue to support growing demand for housing across Europe. At the same time, limited supply in many Living sectors is contributing to increasing demand for professionally managed rental accommodation and supporting long-term rental growth.
Living sector investments can offer the potential for resilient long-term income and attractive rental growth prospects. Investors may also benefit from the diversification characteristics of the sector, particularly when investing across a range of Living assets. Combined with specialist asset management, this creates the potential to enhance a portfolio's risk-adjusted returns.
Our strategy invests in both standing assets and forward fundings, targeting well-located, high-quality homes that meet people's needs at every stage of the Living lifecycle. This includes private rented housing, purpose-built student accommodation and senior living. Through disciplined stock selection, active asset management and efficient property management, we seek to generate sustainable income returns while supporting long-term value creation.
Leveraging more than 20 years of experience in the Living sector, M&G expanded its residential real estate capabilities into Europe in 2023. Supported by a dedicated team of sector specialists and local market expertise, we manage over £5 billion of Living sector assets globally, providing access to a diversified opportunity set across European residential markets
