The Private Equity Info real estate data module tracks institutional investors that have a specific investment focus on the real estate sector.  These firms include real estate investment trusts (REITs), real estate-focused private equity firms, hedge funds and other institutions that are active debt or equity investors in the real estate market.

We ran a study looking at the geographic distribution of private equity firms and their portfolio companies for European countries.

The majority of private equity firms are concentrated in the United Kingdom, Germany and France.
