Homing in on growth through PRS Institutional investors have long-seen the merit of investing in bricks and mortar, but this has predominantly been through commercial rather than residential property. The need for hands-on management and the reputational risks involved has left many investors keeping their distanceAfter years in the wilderness, however, it seems residential property, particularly the private rented sector (PRS), is beginning to generate quite a buzz among the institutional community. PRS has seen a spate of fund launches in the last year as investors search for alternative forms of fixed income to better match their long-term liabilities and a greater variety in traditional real estate portfolios.This roundtable sees a panel of asset owners, managers and consultants discuss investing in PRS, including why its popularity has soared, where the opportunities are, and how it is set to grow as a subset of the property asset class.
