Macro environment: –– Fundamentals: Revenue growth is healthy yet is moderating throughout most market segments. –– Capital markets: Risk-taking is becoming more selective. Debt capital is plentiful.

Investment execution response: –– Sectors: Overweight industrial, apartment, and select specialty sectors. –– Bulk industrial: Buy or build state-of-the-art product in major supply chain markets. –– Infill industrial: Maximize access to consumers; minimize exposure to competitive stock. –– Apartment: Buy higher-yield assets with room to run for net operating income (NOI) growth. –– Retail: Seek service-oriented centers with tenant experiences not easily duplicated online. –– Office: Buy in high-growth innovation hubs with a compelling, hospitality-based work environment. –– Specialty: Seek to reduce portfolio volatility and avoid oversupplied locations. Image: E-commerce growth remains a dynamic driver of robust demand for warehouse and logistics space.

1 Invesco Real Estate House View H1 2019 North America Market Outlook Macro environment Growth slowing, fundamentals easing, risk selectivity, costs up

Macro economy: Growth is healthy, but is slowing –– Job openings exceed the pace of hiring; tight labor conditions limit growth. –– Tapering yield curve, drop in home sales, and tariff risk imply slowdown is coming. –– Yet, slow money supply growth supports low inflation expectations.

Fundamentals: Easing, but vary across sector and segments –– Industrial: Rising supply is still outstripped by robust demand. –– Retail: Weak store-based sales have led to anemic revenue growth. –– Apartment: Rent growth is challenged in supply-heavy locations. –– Office: Differentiated assets in innovation hubs are capturing outsized demand.

Capital markets: Risk-taking is becoming more selective –– Liquidity has contracted, particularly for assets valued above $150 million. –– Class B and C assets have experienced significant yield compression. –– Fewer foreign buyers and total bidders; outliers often set prices. –– Debt capital is plentiful.

Costs: Still rising, still challenging –– Property taxes rising abruptly and sharply; development costs are up. –– Amenity and personnel costs continue to rise among new apartments. –– High finish-out costs are needed to secure new office and retail tenants.

2 Invesco Real Estate House View H1 2019 North America Market Outlook Investment execution response Can’t control the cycle, but can control our choices in the cycle

Strengthen investment resiliency –– Favor durable income and higher yield to weather expected growth slowdown. –– Reduce leverage, simplify debt covenants and partnership structures. –– Extend debt maturities while conditions favor borrowers.

Sector allocation will increase in importance –– Sector performance differences can widen at economic turning points. –– Nothing is immune, but prefer apartment and industrial over office and retail. –– Capital demand for apartments is deeper and more stable than for commercial. –– Structural trends lend resilience to industrial, but weakness to retail.

But selection within sectors matters at least as much –– Technology and demographic trends are leading select assets to outperform. –– Industrial: Don’t compromise on infill location or bulk property attributes. –– Retail: Measure property viability by factors leading to strong store sales. –– Apartment: Seek higher yield, lower supply exposure and rents below top-of-market. –– Office: Don’t settle for non-premium locations and inefficient space.

Active management will be a differentiator –– Get ahead of lease expirations; assert efforts to drive NOI growth. –– Deal with challenging tenant credit issues while demand remains positive. –– Be selective on cap-ex.

“High” and “Low” refers to whether revenue growth or yield for an asset is high or low compared to other assets for a given point in time. It does not refer to whether something is high or low compared to historical values.

4 Invesco Real Estate House View H1 2019 North America Market Outlook Macro themes

Revenue growth is healthy, yet moderating. Tight labor availability is constraining the pace of hiring, which is moderating the pace of tenant demand.

Capital market risk-taking is becoming more selective. Liquidity is becoming thin for larger transactions and equity transactions are seeing fewer bidders, whereas debt is plentiful.

Easing of Treasury yields potentially means less cap rate compression. The current posture of the Federal Reserve to place a hold on moving interest rates higher means real estate cap rates could experience less expansion should the economy move into recession.

NOI growth of late is greatest for industrial, followed by apartment. NOI growth within sectors is differentiated by competitive levels of new supply for apartments, location and asset quality for office, and type of center and location quality for retail. Yield/cap rate spreads to Treasuries Easing of Treasury yields potentially means less cap rate expansion

7 Invesco Real Estate House View H1 2019 North America Market Outlook Real estate market outlook

Industrial: We expect e-commerce growth to continue to create robust opportunities for both bulk and infill properties. New supply will affect bulk product the most, by far. Our selection of infill product will focus on access to local consumer markets and labor pools, whereas opportunities to buy or build bulk product will focus on markets that play prominently in the national supply chain.

Retail: Slow to moderate consumer spending growth is expected in storefront real estate, which could lead to additional store closures and continued soft rental conditions. Headwinds to storefront demand call for a highly selective focus on service-oriented centers with tenant experiences that cannot be easily duplicated online.

Apartment: Demand remains healthy. Locations without excessive concentrations of new supply should continue to experience stronger rent growth than high-supply locations. Properties with top-end rents for their local areas may also experience challenging rent growth conditions. Rent growth for renewal leases should continue to outpace the rental growth for new leases. Our focus is on investments with high income durability, low exposure to new supply and relatively higher yields.

Office: Innovation hub locations and higher-quality assets have pricing power. Other segments of office tend not to have pricing power. Our focus is on innovation hub locations and high-quality product that can deliver a compelling, hospitality-based work environment.

Specialty sectors: Healthcare sectors have provided steady, moderate NOI growth and low correlations to economic growth. Self- storage can deliver strong NOI growth in locations not experiencing excessive new supply growth. We will seek opportunities in locations with lower supply growth to curb portfolio volatility. Industrial: Investment execution Robust demand broadly supports bulk and infill strategies

Annual net operating income growth per quarter Investment behaviors we pursue: NPI-Industrial, past 10 years (%) –– Invest where expected growth will compensate for spread between price and replacement cost. –– Bulk acquisitions: In markets with large 15 regional populations and large seaports –– Development: In large port/large population, distribution hubs, and high-growth markets –– Infill acquisitions: High-density locations in 10 high-growth markets with low space per capita –– Accept less functionality for infill properties. –– Require more functionality for lower-density bulk locations with vulnerability to new supply. 5 Investment behaviors we avoid: –– Avoid buying in locations exposed to tax incentives for new development. –– Avoid short lease terms in low-density, 0 supply-vulnerable locations. –– Limit exposure to third-party logistics tenants.

9 Invesco Real Estate House View H1 2019 North America Market Outlook Industrial: Bulk demand drivers Supply chain drives greatest demand to large ports/populations

Inbound containers (Mil.) Investment performance in the Los Angeles, • 2010 • 2018 Riverside, and New York industrial markets has outperformed the NPI significantly and West Coast East Coast/Gulf consistently.

5 Largest seaports with high Drivers of outperformance: populations remain the most –– Home to the nation’s highest volume ports attractive bulk markets serving the US supply chain 4 –– Outsized regional populations –– High population densities and supply barriers

Trade policy uncertainty could marginally 3 influence performance in these markets.

Yet, the indelible role of these markets in the 2 nation’s supply chain should continue to set them apart in regard to bulk demand and relative investment performance.

10 Invesco Real Estate House View H1 2019 North America Market Outlook Industrial: Infill demand drivers Demand for speedier delivery is driving logistics closer to consumers

Average daily parcel deliveries in US by major companies (Mil.) E-commerce has caused domestic parcel • UPS Ground • FedEx Ground • USPS Parcel Select deliveries to double since 2010.

35 The “last mile” of the delivery chain is expensive (about 50% of total delivery cost).

30 This is creating sortation and delivery demand for infill industrial product in large, densely populated markets. 25 This product is often older and may come with functional challenges, but locations with high 20 population densities make this an acceptable tradeoff.

Infill product may also offer the potential 15 to be converted to other uses.

25 Invesco Real Estate House View H1 2019 North America Market Outlook Real estate sector strategy and execution

Strategy themes: Given our view of moderating revenue growth and narrowing risk preferences, our overall strategic focus remains fixed on creating durable income, reducing volatility and taking execution risk selectively.

Sector opportunities: We intend to mildly overweight the industrial and apartment sectors, along with select specialty sectors. We remain optimistic about office opportunities for best locations and functionally distinctive assets, but not much else.

Execution: We believe that active management can be a differentiator in times of slowing revenue growth. We intend to manage lease expirations, strengthen tenant credit and be judicious about expenses and capital improvements.
