Join us live as we discuss the results of the US election. Our Chief Economist, Jeremy Lawson and our Senior Global Economist, James McCann will be joined by a panel of experts across Multi-Asset, US Equities and Emerging Markets to talk you through the impacts of the presidential election result. Our panel will share research and discuss their thoughts to help provide you with insight during these unprecedented times. Find out what the implications are for investors and ask your questions to our panel of experts.

US Presidential Election: The Result

While some economies are gradually opening up, many countries are still in lockdown with strict social distancing measures imposed. The majority of governments continue to advise citizens to cancel all non-essential travel. As a result, the hospitality and leisure (H&L) markets, in particular, are currently suffering from little-to-no demand (domestic and international).

Our panel will highlight the hotel and leisure market trends, portfolio considerations and the sector’s recovery trajectory.

Real Estate: Hospitality & Leisure. Through Covid-19 and beyond

The European Real Estate Society, together with the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor, are proud to invite you to attend our seminar - panel 2.

This second panel will present some of the most consistent frameworks – from the global economy to the asset scale – engaging real estate stakeholders into disclosure and mitigation action. These
frameworks encourage the disclosure of carbon emissions and stranding risk of investments, define
the concept of ‘sustainability’ within the Paris Agreement and EU context and stimulate the adoption and monitoring of carbon mitigation targets.

Join us for episode 14 of our live webinars series with:

Robert Gilhooly - Senior Emerging Markets Research Economist, Research Institute
Sree Kochugovindan - Senior Research Economist, Research Institute
Luke Bartholomew - Investment Strategist, Research Institute

The global economy has begun to bounce back from the coronavirus shock. But how much more recovery can we expect and what are the risks to the outlook?  And how should investors incorporate long-term structural trends that have been amplified by the shock?

ASI Research Institute: Bouncing back – how fast and how far?

We believe the COVID-19 crisis has mostly accelerated trends that were already underway prior to the pandemic, with flexibility being the key focus - 1) flexible work arrangements, and 2) flexible workspace solutions. 

Listen to our panel of experts discuss the office market, what we expect over the long-term, competition for tenants and the why investor would benefit from value-add services to differentiate.

Speakers:
Anne Breen, Head of Investment Strategy (Real Estate)
Min-Chow Sai, Head of Asia & N.America Real Estate Investment Strategy
Jason Baggaley, Real Estate Fund Manager
