GICS Core

GICS Core is the top-level perspective within the Sector Intelligence of the G11 General Industry Compass System. This level is deliberately set at a distance and provides an overarching view of the central structures of the global economy.

The focus of GICS Core as the TIER 1 level of the G11 General Industry Compass System is on broadly defined economic sectors as stable organizational units. Instead of detailed subdivisions, the focus is on classifying economic activities into a few, sustainable categories that serve as a long-term frame of reference. The helicopter perspective of GICS Core opens up space for fundamental questions: How do weights shift between sectors? Which structures characterize entire sectors across economic cycles? And which sectoral dependencies only become visible from a distance?

#Real Estate

The real estate sector brings together companies that deal with real estate as an economic resource. The focus is on the ownership, development, use and management of buildings and areas that serve as living space, working environments, infrastructure or investment properties. Real estate is an asset sector based on location and use. The companies grouped here create, manage or finance physical spaces in which economic and social activities take place. Real estate fulfills a dual function: it is both a basis for use and an investment. The sector is characterized by its long-term orientation. Investment decisions are capital-intensive, highly location-specific and have an impact over long periods of time. Demand arises from structural factors such as population development, urbanization, forms of work and economic use, rather than from short-term market movements. Real estate operates at the interface between business, financing and use. Rental income, value development, occupancy and management determine the economic logic, while regulatory requirements, the interest rate environment and financing conditions have a significant influence on income and valuation. The sector is also broadly based in terms of content. It ranges from residential and commercial properties through specialized properties to infrastructural and functional areas. Despite this diversity, all areas share a dependence on location quality, useful life and long-term planning. Within GICS Eleven, real estate forms the spatial frame of reference among the CORE sectors. It links real use with capital commitment and serves as a stable basis for topics relating to living, working, infrastructure and real estate-related value creation - regardless of economic or technological cycles.

The content of the GICS Real Estate information portal is aimed at anyone who deals with real estate-related topics in a structured manner, either professionally or for their own interest. Anyone who follows developments in residential and commercial real estate, is interested in project development, portfolio management, financing, utilization concepts or market movements will find clearly focused access here. The targeted bundling of news, market movements and relevant information at sectoral level creates a clear overall picture of what is important in the real estate environment - without having to search for a long time. For journalists, research units, market observers, media players and professional market participants, this approach enables direct access to content that would otherwise be scattered across numerous sources. Developments can be recorded, categorized and processed more quickly without first having to establish the appropriate context. Sectoral aggregation also creates tangible added value for investors - from institutional players and family offices to specialized market participants. It helps to better classify market cycles, valuation levels and structural changes and to filter information flows in a targeted manner. Private investors benefit in particular as they receive real estate-related information in a concentrated form, which is otherwise often fragmented or difficult to access. The focus on thematic relevance facilitates access to a complex market environment without requiring specialist knowledge. Regardless of perspective or experience, the key benefits are time savings, information consolidation and the consistent reduction of noise. GICS Real Estate thus creates a structured environment in which relevant real estate information becomes visible more quickly, easier to classify and can be used in a more targeted manner.

Typical users of GICS Real Estate view real estate as a long-term combination of use, location and capital. They think in terms of cycles, financing constellations and structural demand rather than short-term market movements. For them, relevance arises where spatial developments become economically concentrated.

GICS Real Estate is aimed at players who understand real estate as a long-term combination of space, use and capital. It is aimed at advertisers, agencies, project developers, portfolio holders, financiers, service providers and information providers whose services are anchored in the context of real estate markets, locations and forms of use. For agencies, PR and communication service providers, GICS Real Estate offers an environment in which content is not short-lived, but is placed in a way that retains its value. Topics such as project developments, location strategies, financing, regulation or new usage models have an impact here because they meet an audience that evaluates real estate strategically and in the long term. Product and service providers as well as financial service providers find a focused space in GICS Real Estate for offers that enable investment, hedging or management. Whether financing models, structured products, services, technologies or market access - visibility is created where real estate is understood as an asset class, usage space and economic factor at the same time. In addition, the portal is a relevant platform for industry media, market information services, stock market letters, trade fair and conference organizers, whose content thrives on classification, market transparency and technical depth. Events, studies and publications reach an audience that actively observes, uses or manages real estate markets.

Supplementary information

GICS Core acts as a strategic thinking space within the General Industry Compass system. The perspective provides orientation without simplifying and creates a common basis on which further perspectives - such as Trending or Microsectors - can be built upon in a targeted manner.

GICS Core is deliberately designed as an introductory and reference level.
The perspective is aimed at users who initially want to get their bearings, grasp interrelationships and understand sectoral structures in a broader economic context without committing to detailed analyses at an early stage.

As an organizing framework, GICS Core is particularly suitable:

as a conceptual haven of peace within the GICS family,
as a common reference level for cross-references to in-depth content,
as well as a conceptual starting point for further perspectives such as GICS Trending or GICS Microsectors.

The level thus serves less for operational analysis and more for strategic classification - it creates an overview, promotes systemic thinking and lays the foundation for in-depth discussion along downstream perspectives.
