What Pere does

PERE (Private Equity Real Estate) is a London-headquartered subscription media and intelligence platform covering the global private real estate industry, operating as a brand under PEI Group (the diversified alternative-assets media conglomerate) since the publication's launch in 2005. The platform serves institutional investors (LPs such as pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurers), private real estate fund managers (GPs), placement agents, real estate law firms, and investment consultants with a combination of news, expert analysis, proprietary rankings, a searchable industry database, roundtables, podcasts, and three flagship annual events.

The core technology is a digital publishing platform with database and event-management capabilities: a multi-section website (perenews.com) houses daily news, monthly digital magazine issues, podcast/video content, and a structured searchable database covering LPs, GPs, funds, commitments, investment consultants, placement agents, law firms, a live fundraising chart, and benchmark/quartile rankings. The platform also operates a Network Hub community layer with directory, messaging, meetings, and Knowledge Hub features. There is no native mobile app, no public API, no SDK, and no MCP server documented.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring tiered subscriptions (with free registration and premium gated content), paid industry events (PERE Europe Forum in London, PERE America Forum in New York, PERE Asia Summit in Singapore), and sponsored content and special reports. The product portfolio spans news content, the PERE Magazine, seven major annual rankings (PERE 100, PERE 200, Global Investor 100, Proptech 20, Real Estate Debt 50, PERE Credit 100, Placement Agent Ranking), thematic special reports covering multiple real estate sectors, annual Investor Intentions research, and a Network Hub community platform. The go-to-market is a self-serve, content-led inbound model supported by email, social, SEO, and the global events calendar.

Broad incumbents

• PitchBook: PitchBook is a private capital markets data platform owned by Morningstar, providing fund, deal, and LP/GP intelligence across private equity and real estate. Overlaps with PERE's database and rankings franchise, though it serves a broader alternative-asset universe with deeper financial-data tooling.
• CoStar Group: CoStar is the dominant commercial real estate data, analytics, and news platform globally. It overlaps with PERE's audience of CRE professionals and competes for institutional attention, though its core product is property-level data rather than LP/GP intelligence.
• Altus Group: Altus Group provides commercial real estate data, analytics, and advisory services, including fund and investor intelligence. While broader in scope than PERE, it competes for the same institutional customer wallet around CRE market intelligence.
• MSCI Real Capital Analytics: MSCI's RCA unit provides transaction-level commercial real estate data and analytics to institutional investors, complementing PERE's editorial and fundraising intelligence. A broader incumbent with overlapping LP/GP customers but a fundamentally different data-led product.

Direct peers

• Preqin: Preqin is the leading data and intelligence platform covering private capital markets, including a deep private real estate fund and investor dataset. It directly competes with PERE's database and rankings as the primary subscription source for LP/GP benchmarking.
• Private Equity International: A sister PEI Group publication covering private equity with the same subscription, ranking, event, and database model. Directly comparable business structure and audience segmentation, differing only by asset class focus (PE vs. PE real estate).
• Buyouts: A PEI Group brand covering private equity buyouts with an analogous subscription, ranking, and events portfolio. Comparable editorial voice, audience (LPs/GPs), and revenue mix to PERE.
• Infrastructure Investor: Another sister PEI Group title applying the same publication + rankings + events + database formula to private infrastructure. Operationally and commercially a near-clone of PERE, making it the closest internal benchmark for unit economics.
• IPE Real Estate (Investment Property Databank): IPE Real Estate is an international publication covering institutional real estate investment with rankings, performance indices, and editorial coverage. It directly parallels PERE's LP-focused intelligence and benchmarking proposition across European and global markets.
• Bisnow: Bisnow is a digital media and events business covering commercial real estate with news, newsletters, and large-scale industry events. It overlaps with PERE's events and news franchise, though it skews more toward property-level coverage and a broader CRE audience than LP/GP intelligence.
