Investor sentiment across many markets in Asia has grown increasingly uncertain towards the end of 2012, with caution over fading global economic prospects tempered by ongoing strength in asset pricing and persistently compressed yields. The lack of conviction has been underlined by the divergent approaches of foreign and local investors to property pricing, with Asian buyers often willing to pay up for properties at rates foreigners find prohibitive.

Investor sentiment across many markets in Asia has grown increasingly uncertain towards the end of 2012, with caution over fading global economic prospects tempered by ongoing strength in asset pricing and persistently compressed yields. The lack of conviction has been underlined by the divergent approaches of foreign and local investors to property pricing, with Asian buyers often willing to pay up for properties at rates foreigners find prohibitive.
Given the ambivalent mood, there is little surprise that investors are opting for bigger, more liquid markets where there are plenty of core assets and greater confidence in long-term price stability. Tokyo and Australia, therefore, have been particularly favored. The former has benefited also from ultra-low interest rates and a widespread belief that pricing is about to bottom out, while the latter continues to feature high yields, a shortfall of domestic capital, and a growing conviction that homegrown institutional investors are about to increase investments in real estate assets.

"The right commercial banker or trusted financial advisor does more than provide services and advice. These individuals – and the institutions they represent – can genuinely prepare your organization (with the right resources, capital and guidance) for the next level of growth and beyond.
These are the experts who have demonstrated continued successes and many accomplishments in the last 24 months, as well as leading their organizations. Whether that means helping implement an infusion of cash, serving as a steward to the CFO, or finding the best ways to invest, it’s always about shedding light on the right fiscal path. The best of these visionaries will wear multiple hats: providing incredibly valuable guidance and advice while finding themselves as pillars in their communities beyond business hours."
