While the real estate industry has long understood the need for data, it still struggles with connecting information to decision making. New strides in data science could change that. https://www.afire.org/podcast/202222cast/ According to Brian Biggs, Vice President of Research for Grosvenor Americas, advances in data availability and data science techniques are bringing new transparency to historically opaque real estate markets. On this episode of the AFIRE Podcast, recorded in November 2022, Biggs joins podcast host and AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson to talk about how a data science approach to real estate analysis can reveal fundamental relationships between building-specific features, amenities in the built environment, sociodemographic factors, and real estate pricing at a scale previously unthinkable.

(Featuring Lauren Krause, Director of Environment, Social, and Governance, Grosvenor Americas and Brian Biggs, CFA, Research Director, Grosvenor Americas) Though “impact investing” is no longer totally distinct from investing in general, investors still have a lot of work to do to fulfill the social and governance aspects of ESG expectations. https://www.afire.org/podcast/peoplefirstcast/ Gone are the days when investors considered “impact investing” separate from just “investing.” In virtually every industry, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters have moved from a peripheral concern to a core business pillar. Real estate is no exception. Within real estate, the conversation around the environmental component of ESG is quite advanced—and with good reason, as real estate is one of the largest domestic sources of greenhouse gas emissions and embodied carbon in the developed world. The “E” of ESG also has well-defined assessment metrics, key milestones for decarbonizing, and a robust certification marketplace for verifying a building's green credentials. On this episode of the AFIRE Podcast, Lauren Krause, Director of Environment, Social, and Governance, Grosvenor Americas and Brian Biggs, CFA, Research Director, Grosvenor Americas, go deeper to explain the social and governance sections of ESG. Science has been very clear on environmental changes necessary, but it can be much more difficult to identify steps to take to fulfill the rest of ESG's goals.

(Featuring Brian Biggs, CFA, Research Director, Grosvenor Americas, and Madeleine Roberts, Research Analyst, Grosvenor Americas) Portfolio diversification is one of the most fundamental concepts in investing. Diversification is a useful risk management tool employed to construct a portfolio in such a way that an investor is not overly exposed to any asset or risk. https://www.afire.org/podcast/city-vs-property/ How can real estate investors think about constructing a diversified portfolio in an efficient and cost-effective manner? Investors do not necessarily need to spread themselves thin in order to thrive in portfolio diversification. Brian Biggs, CFA, Research Director of Grosvenor Americas, and Madeleine Roberts, Research Analyst of Grosvenor Americas, talk about how the city lens is a powerful tool for diversified portfolio construction. By selecting a relatively small set of cities based on their long-run total returns relationships with one another, investors can build a portfolio that offers relative stability in uncertain times.
