The future of property investment

whitePaper | April 1, 2022

Real estate crowdfunding platforms are the only solutions available on the market. They o¬er the possibility to invest in a fractional way, to get dividends on the rents and capital gains on the properties. But we consider these platforms as "hybrid" solutions giving access to a right of "co-ownership" and therefore according to us, they do not in any way provide the possibility to invest in a fractional way.

Driven by the myriad of benefits associated with property investments. The demand for international real-estate has also seen an upsurge. Just in the past seven years, the total sales value of international real estate assets has increased from $70 billion to $370 billion. Among all the nations. The countries in Asia-Pacific have shown a steady increase in capital outflow into international property investments. Among all the countries, the individual and corporate investors from China alone have spent an estimated $150 billion in real estate overseas in 2017.

The new safe haven: Making the case for European real estate long income

whitePaper | September 15, 2022

With inflation hitting multi-decade highs, central banks in major developed markets have finally been forced to abandon the long-running era of easy monetary policy; interest rate hikes rather than cuts characterise the new regime. At such times, when government bonds are less of a safe haven, investments offering resilience and stable returns are hard to find.
