Insurers like to invest in real estate. This is according to the study "Trendbarometer Real Estate Investments of the Insurance Industry" by the tax consultancy firm EY. With a so-called real estate ratio of 12.1%, this was the highest level since the survey began in 2008. However, the study also shows that insurers are becoming more cautious.
Half of the insurers surveyed stated that they would like to increase the real estate quota even further. Last year, however, two thirds of those surveyed still wanted to increase the real estate ratio. In addition, 45% of the insurers surveyed this year are in favor of keeping the real estate ratio the same, while 5% of insurers even want to reduce it.
A survey of 30 leading insurers, including pension funds, life insurers and reinsurers, was conducted in May 2022 for the "Insurance Industry Real Estate Investment Trend Barometer". Further results of the study, such as the insurers' preferred locations for real estate investments, are available free of charge at ey.com.
