More than 100

More than 100 institutional investors now use our data and tools, including many of the worlds largest pensions funds, insurance companies and sovereign wealth funds.

More than 1,000

More than 1,000 property companies, REITs, funds and developers participated in the 2019 Real Estate Assessment.  

More than 100,000

The 2019 Real Estate Assessment now covers more than 100,000 assets (of which more than 65,000 reported at the asset level).  

More than 500

More than 500 infrastructure funds and assets participated in the 2019 Infrastructure Assessment, a striking 41% increase on the previous year.
