MSCI Advances Private Markets Strategy With New Solutions Built for General Partners
Business Wire India MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI) has launched two new data and analytics solutions, Private Asset and Deal Metrics and Real Capital Analytics (RCA) Funds, designed to provide General Partners (GPs) with deeper insights and enhanced investor engagement capabilities, enabling them to develop more effective strategies for capital formation and deployment across private asset and commercial real estate markets. Private Asset and Deal Metrics is built on private company and deal-level data from more than 26,000 private equity buyout deals representing $2 trillion in net asset value1. The solution enables GPs to benchmark performance, validate investment themes and engage Limited Partners (LPs) with greater confidence. RCA Funds delivers global intelligence on institutional real estate funds. It draws on commercial real estate profiles of over 1,600 GPs and 800 LPs and data on more than 8,000 real-estate funds2. The solution supports GPs' fundraising by providing deep insights into LP investment criteria and also helps them strengthen investor relations through transparent fund performance for better reporting. In the recent MSCI General Partner Survey, more than half of respondents said that they face difficulties finding attractive deals, while one third identified fundraising and capital flows as their top challenges. As GPs navigate this complex and increasingly competitive environment, these new solutions are designed to address critical gaps in data transparency, benchmarking and decision-making capabilities across the full capital investment lifecycle. 'GPs are operating under increasing pressure in what continues to be a challenging market environment, facing heightened competition for capital and deal-making as well as growing scrutiny from investors and regulators,' said Luke Flemmer, Head of Private Assets at MSCI. 'Our goal is to deliver solutions that empower general partners to more clearly articulate their value, operate with greater efficiency and clarity and strengthen investor engagement. We are committed to building a robust suite of scalable tools, analytics and institutional-quality insights that drive client success and expand transparency across private markets.' While MSCI continues to introduce innovative and tech-enabled solutions that serve the needs of all types of private market practitioners, these launches build on the firm's ongoing commitment to supporting the GP community. These new solutions expand MSCI's dedicated suite of products aimed at GPs, including Private Capital Intel, which allows clients to benchmark performance against one of the largest pools of private capital data with extensive coverage of historical profiles sourced directly from LPs, and the recent partnership with Intapp to deliver enhanced private capital market intelligence. 1 As of Q2 2025 2 As of Q2 2025 About MSCI MSCI Inc.

Apartment deal flow falls 14% in Q2
This story was originally published on Multifamily Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Multifamily Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Apartment sales volume fell 14% year over year to $35.1 billion in the second quarter, according to a report that data firm MSCI Real Assets shared with Multifamily Dive. However, they rose 5% to $66.6 billion in the first half of the year. Unlike the Q2 2024, no major entity-level deals closed in 2025. Last year, New York City-based investment manager Blackstone took Denver-based Apartment Income REIT Corp. private for approximately $10 billion, which drove transaction volume. The Real Capital Analytics commercial property price indexes ticked up 0.1%, according to MSCI. Cap rates have remained flat at 5.7% over the past year. Dive Insight: In its monthly report, MSCI acknowledged that the headline sales numbers for 2025 appear unfavorable. But if you dig a little deeper, things are more promising. 'The reality, though, is that the market is still the largest, most liquid component of the commercial real estate market in the U.S., with deal volume just below pre-pandemic levels,' MSCI said in the report. 'The decline for the quarter was an artifact of one big deal in the same quarter last year.' Individual asset sales, often considered the bedrock of multifamily transactions, rose 15% YOY in Q2 to $28 billion. In the five years before the pandemic, apartment trades averaged $29 billion in Q2. In the six major metropolitan areas of Boston; New York City; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles; San Francisco; and Chicago, individual sales increased 6% to $6.7 billion in Q2. In the non-major metros, activity for these deals increased 18% YOY in the quarter on sales of $21.3 billion. Portfolio sales fell 57% to $7.1 billion in Q2. No portfolio was traded for more than $1 billion, with the six largest priced at more than $400 million. Apartment investors say the transaction market slowed noticeably after President Donald Trump's tariff announcements in April. 'We're dealing with tariffs,' Jim Brooks, president of Los Angeles-based real estate investor BH Properties, told Multifamily Dive. 'We're dealing with elevated interest rates, and not a lot of cuts are projected. So there is a high cost of capital. Things have gotten slower on the capital market side.' However, Brooks remains hopeful that things will pick up for his firm, partially because institutional investors are still not fully back in the market. 'We're optimistic, just given the way we're capitalized and the way we can operate,' Brooks said. 'Privately capitalized investment groups should have their moment in the sun before institutional capital comes flooding back in.'

Commercial Real Estate Distress Is Spreading: Credit Weekly
The pain in US commercial real estate credit continues to bubble to the surface after a surge in borrowing costs and the rise of work from home left lenders vulnerable to losses. Delinquencies continue to increase, though the rate has moderated, researcher Green Street said this past week. Distress is also climbing, rising 23% to more than $116 billion at the end of March from a year earlier, data compiled by MSCI Real Capital Analytics show. That's the highest in more than a decade.

The type of housing cost that just soared 75 per cent in five years
The cost of land for housing development has skyrocketed by 75 per cent over the past five years, pushing homeownership further out of the hands of average potential buyers. The median development site cost has risen from $4.8 million in 2020, to $8.5 million this year, Ray White analysis of Real Capital Analytics data shows. It comes as construction costs remain elevated from their pre-COVID-19 levels, putting further pressure on affordability. Ray White Group chief economist Nerida Conisbee said it would take considerable time before building costs fell enough to make new housing genuinely affordable for average buyers. 'Land costs haven't come back down and what's happening is developers want to build, but they can't do it affordably,' Conisbee said. 'We're not seeing the crashes in the market we previously saw so we're in a kind of holding pattern.' In past economic downturns, rising interest rates would put pressure on some owners of development sites, forcing them into distressed sales at reduced prices. But this time was different, and Conisbee said many had built financial buffers while interest rates were at record lows, and developers have been in a better position to hold onto land. They were also entering into joint ventures when finances were squeezed. Changes to how lenders operated were also helping developers hold on to their assets, banks were holding off on forced sales for struggling developers, and were more likely to offer relief measures. It comes as the federal government aims to deliver 1.2 million homes in five years to address the housing affordability challenge.
