Sovereign wealth funds turn to real estate

Analysts say sovereign wealth funds will be making major investments in real estate
investment trusts, helping to fill the gap in domestic liquidity.
The second-largest sovereign wealth fund, Norway Government Pension
Fund, recently allocated 5 percent of its assets to real estate,
infusing $20 billion into the market. The world has about 50 sovereign
wealth funds, which control $3.85 trillion, and 10 to 15 percent of
their assets are invested in real estate.
