Halkin is very pleased to welcome veteran property analyst Alan Carter, managing director and salesman at Stifel Nicolaus Europe Ltd.
His remarks will encompass a summary of the evolution of quoted UK property companies, how asset allocation to the sector has developed, the role of private equity, corporate activity and where capital is currently being deployed.
Alan has a long and distinguished career as a sell-side property analyst and salesman, including spells at James Capel, BZW/Credit Suisse, Citigroup and Investec. He is currently working part-time as a managing director at Stifel Financial Corp., which he joined in 2014.
He has often been top-rated in analyst surveys and almost always top 3; he is noted for big sector buy/sell calls.
Alan writes a column for The Property Chronicle. Here is an extract from his Spring 2025 contribution:
“What is attracting investment is not the traditional asset classes of offices, retail and sheds, in all their guises, rather it is the emerging “alternative” asset classes, ranging through healthcare, data centres, BTR (build-to-rent), life sciences, student housing and energy infrastructure.”
