Winning the global capital race

Speakers: Chris Pilgrim, UK Head of Capital Markets, Avison Young Richard Day, head of debt advisory, Avison Young Chair: Tim Burke, editor, Estates Gazette For over a decade, London has reigned as the world’s most "magnetic" city for capital, but as we move through 2026, the global leaderboard is tightening. While London remains the premier safe haven for international investors, cities like Tokyo, New York and Sydney are strategically competing for the same pool of institutional and private wealth. In this episode, we sit down with Chris Pilgrim (UK head of capital markets) and Richard Day (head of debt advisory) at Avison Young to dissect this shifting gravity. We’ll explore how foreign capital is diversifying into high-growth UK assets and how savvy investors are leveraging deep liquidity to secure the next generation of prime real estate.
