Real estate equity

Long-term thinking and pioneering partnerships, underpinning international expansion in new markets

Our approach to real estate investing

L&G has been an active player in UK real estate equity since 1971 and currently manages assets of £18.4bn* for our institutional and retail clients. Our solid track record has enabled us to build a robust network of industry relationships, giving our clients privileged access to deals that would otherwise have been beyond their reach. Beyond the UK, we are actively looking to expand internationally, taking advantage of opportunities in new markets.

With a strong focus on income-producing strategies, our innovative and flexible solutions span commercial real estate and residential development through to operational and long-lease real estate.

Most of the assets we manage are in pooled funds, but we also manage a range of asset-specific joint ventures and segregated accounts. Across our real estate equity portfolio, our commitment is the same: to take a responsible investment approach, seek long-term risk-adjusted returns for our clients and work towards generating a positive societal outcome.

Net Zero Carbon Report

Putting that commitment into action, we set ourselves a goal in 2019: to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across our entire real estate equity platform by 2050 under the Better Buildings Partnership climate change initiative.

Key risks

The value of any investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, and investors may get back less than the amount originally invested. The risks associated with each fund or investment strategy should be read and understood before making any investment decisions. Further information on the risks of investing is available from L&G's Fund Centres.

While L&G has integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into its investment decision-making and stewardship practices, this does not guarantee the achievement of responsible investing goals within funds that do not include specific ESG goals within their objectives.
