Mike Acton, head of research and strategy for North America at global real estate asset manager AEW, joined the latest episode of the REIT Report. He discussed why commercial real estate provides an anchor amid today’s tech-driven market boom, how many smaller and retail investors are under-allocated to the sector, and why now could be the best entry point in a decade for real estate investment.
Acton noted that the largest, most sophisticated institutional investors typically have real estate allocations that are anywhere from 10% to 15% of their portfolio. Within that real estate allocation, 10% to 20% might be in the listed space.
“There's a lot of evidence that the leading investors are doing something very different than what a lot of smaller investors, certainly what a lot of retail investors, are not doing and probably should be,” Acton said.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
