Summary
This week's Private Equity International real estate digest highlights growing competition in real estate capital markets, with one of the sector's largest allocators, Korea's National Pension Service (NPS), reportedly moving away from fund commitments to prioritize direct investments and club deals.

The digest also reports that EQT is launching its most ambitious property fund yet, a development that signals continued institutional appetite for large-scale real estate vehicles despite the broader shift among some allocators toward direct exposure.

Canada's CPP Investments is expanding its footprint in Asia, the publication notes. In a separate item, four institutional investors are jointly acquiring a US grocery-anchored real estate platform, a consolidation-style transaction that reflects demand for necessity-based retail assets.

The headline also references a $2bn retail deal, though the available text does not provide further detail on its parties or structure. Full coverage of these stories is available to subscribers of the publication.
