Asset repricing pronounced over next 6 to 18m

Dialogues magazine, Fall 2022

October 27, 2022


NAREIM’s Fall 2022 issue of Dialogues - out now and available for download - highlights the current market slowdown and how the deceleration in demand is a more pressing issue than inflation, supply chain challenges and geopolitics. 


During a roundtable conversation with American Realty Advisors, Lendlease, PGIM Real Estate and Prologis, asked the firms' heads of research to give insights into inflation and the economic slowdown. The issue, they agreed, was repricing. 


Repricing, the research leads said, would be more pronounced over the next six to 18 months, even given the fact there is a lot of embedded growth remaining in assets. Lagging was a key word for the firms. 


Albina Reydman at Lendlease said there was so much inflation “already built in that the headline rate almost matters less than our response to it.”  The fear was overcorrection by central banks, turning what Lee Menifee at PGIM said could turn a pesky issue of inflation into a pervasive one. 


There is a legitimate question of whether inflation really impacts the business of investment management. As Chris Caton at Prologis, aptly said: “As a large owner of real estate, we are perfectly happy to see replacement costs go up.” The challenge, Chris continued, was the “clear pause in the repricing of risk in the financial markets.” It is something everyone is monitoring closely. Data by data by data.
