CapMan Residential Fund was awarded the following achievements in the Residential category under the standing investments benchmark:
- Global Sector Leader – Non-listed

GRESB Sector Leaders represent the best performers by sector and region across the GRESB Assessments, which benchmark the sustainability management and performance of real assets globally. The 2025 assessment saw participation from over 1,000 fund managers, with 239 entities taking part in the new Residential Component. GRESB data is widely used by capital providers and asset managers to benchmark investments and inform sustainable investment strategies.
