RICS Property Investment Forum

The RICS Property Investment Forum was set up in response to the global financial crisis and convenes up to four times a year. Its purpose is to inform RICS on the key areas in which the property investment profession seeks the organisation’s leadership and support in adapting to the challenges and opportunities ahead, to sustain a liquid, transparent and efficient market in the UK.

Input to these debates is provided by a range of industry-leading speakers, including RICS’ chief economist, industry researchers, valuers, advisers, local and global asset allocators, developers, occupiers and accounting advisers. The debate draws on the views of senior market participants such as capital providers – whether debt or equity, local or global, public or private markets – investors with risk appetites from core to opportunistic, investment advisers and occupiers. The output of this forum regularly informs meetings with the government and the wider sector. It has effected change in the marketplace – such as the recommendation to RICS’ Standards and Regulations Board for an independent valuation review, which the board supported, with this chaired by Peter Pereira Gray.

Phil Clark, Chair (2017 - 2025)
