The results reflect the potential of the Czech and Slovak investment environment in the area of real estate and highly exceed the market results,” said Robert Ides, co-founder of the Arete Invest fund. “In coming years, we hope to offer our investors above-standard appreciation. We will also continue to maintain the promise we gave them, and pay them a part of the yields on a quarterly basis, as per tradition.” In the past year, only the Arete Invest CEE II sub-fund was active.
