Opportunities in UK commercial property after COVID

In this week’s episode, IGTV’s Victoria Scholar spoke to Matt Howard, director and fund manager for BMO’s Commercial Property Trust, about some of the major trends in office space and the retail sector that have been expedited by the pandemic. Howard says the UK is in ‘for a low growth environment’ in the coming years. Despite the challenges, Howard bases his investment decisions on long-term macro trends and believes there is still the opportunity for steady returns and some capital growth. In particular he sees potential opportunities in industrial properties in the short to medium-term.
