The Investment Podcast: A brief history of real estate – and what’s back in fashion

18 min listen 12 Jan 24

History offers useful lessons, as a plethora of adages often remind us. In the first episode of 2024, Jose Pellicer Global Head of Investment Strategy and Richard Gwilliam, Head of Research at M&G Real Estate, kick off the new year with a brief look at real estate throughout recent history – from a world of high inflation and interest rates in the 1980s to rock bottom interest rates Post-GFC – and what differentiates the 2020s from previous decades. With that said, the current environment necessitates investment skills of old and a real understanding of property fundamentals is set for a fashionable comeback, they predict. 

Speakers: 
José Pellicer, Global Head of Investment Strategy
Richard Gwilliam, Head of Research, M&G Real Estate.
