JPMorgan takes a broad approach to real estate equity financing

“Investors who buy real estate stocks want to talk to people who speak the language of real estate” Klaus Hessberger, JPMorgan

JPMorgan’s real estate equity financing operations have been at the forefront of the broadening of real estate’s involvement in the equity markets. Some of the European initial public offerings it has led are credited with initiating generalist investor interest in the asset class and a recent wave of real estate convertibles from European issuers brought to market by the bank has heralded a resurgence in their use, following years of being off-limits as a financing tool.
