Hermes' View on Responsibile Proeprty Investment

After distributing Kennedy Associates Real Estate Counsel's Responsible Property Investing Agenda, a number of you requested that we distribute additional examples of how real estate investment managers have implemented Responsible Property Investment strategies.

Hermes, a U.K. based institutional investment manager, provides significant insights regarding how it implements its RPI strategies on its web site .

Once on the site, click on "Responsible Investment", then click on "Real Estate". Hermes makes available a number of publications (in PDF format) including "Responsible Property Investment - Defining the Challenge" and "Responsible Property Investment - Annual report 2007." We think you will find these insightful.

Have something you would like to share with readers interested in Responsible Property Investment. Send it to blank@uli.org and we would be pleased to distribute it.

REMINDER: We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on May 9 at 7:30 am at the ULI Spring Council Forum in Dallas. The meeting is being held at the Hyatt Regency, Pryor A (Atrium Level).

Most property investors that have been active over the last few years have probably considered looking overseas in their quest for decent investment opportunities. I myself have, on countless occasions, looked into overseas property but most of the time find myself put off by what seems a very difficult and long winded process.
