I wonder how much of all of our pensions in connected to corporate real estate? The value must be plummeting so fast. No one will go back to city centre offices permanently, companies will be dropping them to down size as quickly as they can. Normally this would mean student flats but will we see a move to more online? What about big retail? Who the hell wants that?
We are going to end up with everything we spend at Amazon and robots doing the work. How would the country operate with most jobs not needed and the government claiming little tax due to the money going overseas to Bezos?
Bloody hell this is depressing I'm going to go back to looking at the form tables
As someone who works in the pensions industry, hopefully I can give you some comfort in saying only a couple of percent directly, if that. There may be indirect links (e.g. exposure to the type of firms who service "the city") but any sensible trustee board would not be particularly heavily invested in any individual area.
