Since its formation in 2001, the Japan Real Estate Investment Trust (J-REIT) market has steadily grown in many respects, including the number of trusts, investment categories and market capitalization, and is now recognized as a highly-liquid and stable market. REITs have also played a greater role in the Japanese real estate transaction market. More specifically, the form of real estate ownership has shifted from one of direct ownership by entities such as corporations (corporate ownership) to one of actual ownership by investors, which includes a wide-range of individual investors (investor ownership). Nomura Real Estate Asset Management (NREAM), launched the management of a REIT in 2003 and at present manages two REITs "Nomura Real Estate Office Fund" and "Nomura Real Estate Residential Fund" as an asset management company, the first in Japan to manage multiple listed REITs. NREAM has a management concept of “investor oriented,” which is the origin of its asset management business, and as a specialist in REIT management, NREAM will move forward in order to make further contributions to the J-REIT market while realizing investment returns that meet the expectations and trust of investors. |
