It was a true pleasure to attend the 5th Investor Forum in Rome last week, organized by Markets Group. Special thanks to Sergio Corbello (Assoprevidenza ) for moderating an engaging panel and providing a valuable overview of how pension funds are adapting their real estate investment strategies across various asset classes in Italy. A deeper dive into the topic was enriched by insightful contributions from Carlo Nappi, Gianni Golinelli, and the expert perspective of Giovanni Terranova on renewable energy investments. At WIMMER FAMILY OFFICE LTD, we continue to explore the most attractive opportunities in the Italian real estate market — with a strong focus on the residential and hospitality sectors. Hospitality investment in H1 2025 reached approximately €1.5 billion, reflecting robust sector momentum in Italy. Notably, family offices are becoming more active players in the market, with their share in Italian commercial real estate growing from around 10% in 2024 to 25% in H1 2025 — highlighting their expanding co-investment capacity alongside pension funds. #RealEstateInvestment #ItalianInvestorForum #WimmerFamilyOffice #PensionFunds #MarketsGroup
