After concluding a strategic review of its businesses, the German bank will hold onto its real estate and infrastructure arm. The decision could help unlock some €500m of capital for its second infrastructure fund.

The two firms have been “unable to agree on terms for the sale of the business and mutually agreed to end exclusive negotiations.”

A new report from JPMorgan Asset Management states that the investment category known as ‘real assets’ will go from an alternative investment to an essential one within the next 10 years.

The two firms have mutually agreed to end exclusive negotiations on buying three parts of Deutsche Bank Asset Management's business put up for sale and focus solely on a possible sale of the bank’s global alternative asset management business, which includes real estate and infrastructure.
