Summary
Private real estate intelligence provider PEI reports that sector-specific vehicles dominated fundraising among the Core 100, its ranking of leading core-focused real estate managers. According to PEI, nearly 90% of the equity raised by Core 100 managers went into sector-specialist vehicles rather than diversified strategies, a finding that underscores how allocators are increasingly directing core capital toward focused property-type exposure.
Residential and industrial were the two sectors attracting the largest shares of this capital, according to the article's headline findings. The concentration in these property types reflects continued institutional appetite for sectors with structural demand drivers and relatively stable income profiles, although the source article's full breakdown by sector and manager was behind a registration wall and is not reproduced here.
For allocators and managers, the data suggests that specialist platforms are capturing a disproportionate share of core-oriented equity in the current cycle. The article is authored by Kyle Campbell and published on 1 September 2026 as part of PEI's Fundraising coverage, and it is tagged within PEI's Core, Core-Plus and Core 100 coverage alongside its PEI Group Data research.
