But has their long-term investment performance justified this?<\/p>\n<p>For the 10 years ended June 2020, offices in global cities did deliver a higher total return\u2014largely driven by capital growth. But the components of the capital growth matter. A market\u2019s ability to attract capital flows may result in yield compression, which in turn underpins capital growth. However, when yield compression occurs in the absence of sustained fundamental income growth, it could, over time, lead to artificially high asset prices.<\/p>\n<p>A recent MSCI <u>blog<\/u> shows that &nbsp;global gateway cities\u2019 higher capital growth comprised both higher yield compression and higher income growth. But cities are complex, and capital flows and investment returns are not always evenly spread within their borders. Even in the context of a city-focused strategy, however, institutional capital could be more focused on narrowly defined geographies like Manhattan, Paris\u2019s eighth arrondissement or London\u2019s West End.<\/p>\n<p>Over the 10-year period to June 2020, these prime locations <i>within<\/i> the global cities all produced superior capital growth when compared to the rest of the city. In all three examples, these areas received a larger portion of their capital growth from fundamental property-income growth as a result of a strong occupier market. But they also benefited more from yield compression\u2014 meaning they became more expensive on a relative basis. But what could COVID-19 mean for these locations in the future?<\/p>\n<p><em>MSCI is a leading provider of critical decision support tools and services for the global investment community.
