Hermes Real Estate offers property investment through segregated and pooled vehicles. We operate an integrated portfolio management and research-based approach using a philosophy of targeting high quality properties which are well located and highly competitive in their local marketplaces.

Hermes operates across all the primary markets of retail, office and the industrial sectors. The investment process uses top down portfolio and bottom up property asset models to develop specific investment strategies for clients to maximise their returns. In each of the major markets Hermes has specialist investment managers with specific relevant expertise and market knowledge. This approach ensures that the performance of each portfolio benefits from the input and market insights from sector specialists not just the central fund manager.

Hermes Real Estate is one of the largest real estate managers in the UK, with in excess of £12 billion of gross assets under management (at 31 December 2007).

Hermes Property Unit Trust is the principal balanced pooled vehicle which enables clients to participate in a professionally managed vehicle benefiting from a diversified portfolio, without prejudicing their tax-exempt status and the burden of management.
