AREF represents the investment capital behind the UK’s buildings. From offices to shops and factories to homes, our members own, manage and maintain essential economic and social assets. Whether through pension funds, insurance vehicles, savings accounts or charities our members in turn represent investors, the savings and investments of millions of people. We serve both members and society by bringing the industry together, to share ideas and best practice, to overcome shared challenges, explore opportunities, and to represent it to policymakers.
