Fifth Wall, On: Opportunities for Tenant Engagement DECEMBER 2018 | perenews.com FOR THE WORLD’S PRIVATE REAL ESTATE MARKETS FUND SERVICES & TECHNOLOGY A special supplement to PERE magazine EDITOR’S LETTER Time to board the technology train Not so long ago, a report on fund services would likely have been received with much head scratching among senior industry figures more interested in the sexier activities of fundraising and dealmaking. Viewed as the part of the business that ticked over quietly behind the scenes, it simply did not warrant much attention. How quickly things change. It is now front and center of the business. The old moniker – the ‘back office’ – is even considered a pejorative term. The full suite of factors that have facilitated this perception shift are too numerous to list here, but playing a big part certainly are: the increased level of investor due diligence of operations; the requirement for greater transparency and speedier; more detailed reporting; the volume of regulation and new risks impacting the sector; and a need to seek new ways to demonstrate performance and deliver value-add. Efficient, streamlined and cost effective operations are integral to that equation. And that brings us neatly to technology. It is clear how critical it has become to deliver top- grade fund services and meet stakeholder – namely investor – expectations. A contributor to this report describes it is as part of his firm’s DNA. Yet it is widely acknowledged that many private real estate managers have been slow on the uptake of technology. There could be many reasons: cost and complexity of searching the market for the perfect product; the time and effort involved in implementing and updating software; finding the right skillset to expertly manage it all. On top of that is the mindboggling pace with which technology changes. How do you know that the systems you integrate today will not become obsolete in five years’ time? Of course, the technology journey does not end at the door of investment management firms. There is also the performance-enhancing technology in the properties in their portfolios. Some investors have spotted an opportunity to back a new breed of funds dedicated to capitalizing startups that are developing innovations specifically for use in the built environment – it is aptly named proptech investing. These fund managers and investors see a future where real estate and technology become one. Technology is too often equated with business disruption. Throughout this report, it is clear it is time to think of it as “business-enhancing” at both the management company and asset level. The core message throughout is that if you are one of the managers yet to fully embrace technology, it really is time to step up. I’ll leave you with the wise words of one of our contributors: “Adapt or get left behind.” Enjoy the report, Helen Lewer Special Projects Editor FUND SERVICES & TECHNOLOGY | PERE 1 IN THIS ISSUE ISSN 1558-7177 New York 4 Fund services and www.perenews.com 130 West 42nd Street technology: Six trends Senior Editor Suite 450 Jonathan Brasse New York, NY 10036 Helen Lewer highlights key +44 20 7566 4278 +1 212 645 1919 [email protected] Fax: +1 212 633 2904 talking points Special Projects Editor Helen Lewer London 5 Sticking with tradition +44 20 7566 5478 100 Wood St, [email protected] Managers favor familiar domiciles London EC2V 7AN Contributing Reporters: +44 20 7566 5444 as they face disruptive times, say Lisa Fu Fax: +44 20 7566 5455 Evelyn Lee RBC’s Priya Nair and Dirk Holz Meghan Morris 19 Meet the venture capitalists Mark Cooper Hong Kong 8 The talent hunt Stuart Watson 19F On Hing Building funding the future of Staffing to meet the skills required Managing Editor – Production 1 On Hing Terrace real estate Mike Simlett Central in this tech and data-driven age is +44 20 7566 5457 Hong Kong Major investment managers are [email protected] one of many new challenges facing Tel: +852 2153 3240 opening their checkbooks, and Design & Production Manager real estate managers, write Simon Glen Reynolds Havers and Hugo Healing of portfolios, to a two-year-old firm set +44 20 7167 2039 PERE is published 10 times a year by PEI [email protected] Odgers Berndtson on finding startups that will reshape To find out more about PEI please visit: the asset class.

    Private Capital Group Private Placement Activity Chris Hastings | [email protected] | 917-621-3750 1/22/2018 – 1/26/2018 (Transactions in excess of $20 million) Trends & Commentary . This week, 10 U.S. private placement deals between $20 million and $50 million closed, accounting for $279 million in total proceeds, compared to last week’s 11 U.S. deals leading to $372 million in total proceeds. This week also had 7 U.S. deals between $50 million and $100 million yielding $475 million, compared to last week’s 3 deals resulting in $168 million in total proceeds. A growing number of deals with companies from China have been blocked by the U.S. government, including Ant Financial’s bid for MoneyGram and more recently, HNA Group’s bids for SkyBridge Capital and Glencore. Primary Data, a data virtualization startup, is shutting down after raising $40 million in Series C funding in 2017, and nearly $90 million in total funding to date from Accel Partners, Battery Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners, among others. Despite having industry experts such as Steve Wozniak and Fusion.io’s co-founders David Flynn and Rick White, the Company is being shut down reportedly due to heavy operating losses. Sapphire Ventures has promoted Rajeev Dham, Kevin Diestel and Anders Ranum to Partner. The Company also promoted Winter Mead to Principal. Snowflake, a cloud-based data storage platform, has become the first unicorn of 2018 after being valued at $1.5 billion in its Series E round from ICONIQ Capital and Altimeter Capital. SoundHound, a developer of sound recognition and voice search technologies, is following suit with its Series D1 round projected to close at the end of January.

  • NASA JOHNSON SPACE CENTER Has Been Leading Innovation in Space and on Earth for Over 50 Years
    NASA JOHNSON SPACE CENTER has been leading innovation in space and on Earth for over 50 years. In its first half century, NASA put the first humans footprints on the moon, conducted 135 Space Shuttle missions, and constructed the most ambitious engineering project ever attempted - the International Space Station (ISS) - an orbiting laboratory that has been continuously inhabited for over 15 years. NASA is now embarking on the next steps in our journey - and the coming half century will be even more incredible than the first! We are utilizing the ISS to develop the technologies for deep space exploration. We are building the next generation of human spacecraft that will, in the next decade, conduct demonstration missions in the vicinity of the moon leading to long-range missions to Mars and beyond. Come join us on this fantastic voyage of discovery and innovation! Dr. Douglas Terrier, Chief Technology Officer NASA WELCOME I want to welcome you to our second Cross Industry Innovation Summit. The summit will bring together a select number of top innovation executives from the world leading institutions to discuss innovation across various industries. Most industries work at the leading edge of technological standards, and are constantly on the lookout for new technologies to make operations simpler, innovative, safer, and more cost effective. A significant problem in several industries is that engineers and scientists are typically exposed only to like thinking individuals. It is that mindset that can prevent innovation and maturation of the “out of the box” ideas. Finding innovative solutions for challenges often requires venturing off looking for diverse ways of thinking to bring new value added.
