I focus on providing original and insightful research across the public and private Asian real estate debt and equity markets, drawing on my 27 years of experience in real estate and financial services markets.I started writing independent research: - To be free of the inherent conflicts of interest in investment banking research;- As a recognition of the shortage of high-quality, forward-looking thematic research required to deliver positive long-term returns;- And to highlight what others miss in the pricing of real estate risk and the flow of capital from looking across capital markets (credit and equity) and between private and public real estate markets If you are an institutional investor and would like to know more about my research you can register your interest via this link - www.tslombard.com/trial.php - or contact me directly. Prior to founding Oculus Research Asia, I was a leading real estate analyst with banks such as: Kleinwort Benson, Deutsche Bank and Barclay’s Capital, during which time my research was highly rated in industry surveys, consistently recognised by international investment institutions and received wide international media coverage. In addition to investment research, I have spent a number of years in investment and risk management, investing across the capital structure of both public and private real estate companies on behalf of dedicated real estate hedge funds. I am the author of The Skyscraper Index, which shows the unhealthy correlation that exists between the building of the world's next tallest building and an impending economic crisis. Prior to moving to Asia, I was head of property strategy for a major UK PLC and spent seven years in real estate advisory.
