SHARP DECLINE AFTER RECORD YEARS
After years of record volumes due to an increasing importance of the healthcare asset class driven by the increased demand for corresponding facilities, the first half of 2023 is significantly below average. With an investment volume of € 660 million, the 10-year average was undercut by -38% and the strong result of the previous year was even missed by -68%. Several major insolvencies of well-known operators are currently affecting the healthcare investment market and leading to increasing caution on the part of risk-averse investors. Where for many years no or hardly any operator risks were perceived, there is now growing focus on the stability of operators. The further development on that side will therefore be closely observed and will influence the further transaction activities to a large extent.
