Davy Real Estate's Davy Irish Property Fund (DIPF) has won the MSCI European Property Investment Award 2018 for best performing fund in the Irish market over the three-year period 2015–2017. This is the second time in three years that DIPF has won the award.

DIPF had a three-year asset level return of 17.6 per cent per annum, outperforming the sector’s benchmark by about 2.3 per cent.

David Goddard of Davy Real Estate says DIPF's shift from capital to income returns has been the "key driver" in its performance.

“This award comes on the back of two exceptional years of growth in 2013 and 2014, resulting in average annual returns of 24.28 per annum over the five-year period 2013 to 2017.”
