As inflation shows signs of stabilizing, institutional investors are redirecting capital from speculative tech sectors toward tangible assets — and real estate is taking center stage again.
According to Vince Childers, Head of Real Assets Multi-Strategy at Duff & Phelps Investment Management, macroeconomic conditions are now “lining up nicely” for long-term investment in physical assets. In his recent interview with Investment Executive, Childers emphasized that moderate inflation, lower borrowing costs, and increased infrastructure spending are combining to create a rare window for property investors.
Beyond traditional portfolios, blockchain-based real estate products are also capturing attention. Tokenized property investments, once seen as niche experiments, are now being adopted by family offices and hedge funds seeking diversified, yield-bearing assets.
“Real assets are proving to be a stabilizing force,” said Childers. “The tokenization layer only amplifies their accessibility.”
Industry analysts believe that by 2026, over $100 billion in global property value could be tokenized, providing new liquidity and transparency for investors. The movement underscores a clear message: in an era of digital finance, tangible assets still reign supreme.
