The professional conference aimed to familiarize participants with a comprehensive view of the investment portfolio and the representation of individual instruments in the investment portfolio with a focus on real estate. The speakers then tried to practically outline which investment instruments are suitable for investors in relation to the length of the investment cycle and the investor’s relationship to risk. Miroslav Svoboda, Managing Partner of Deloitte, placed particular emphasis on examples of individual investment instruments from independent advisors, on the assessment of the type of investment, tax and legal jurisdiction and, last but not least, on the importance of the underlying asset of the investment.
Robert Ides, co-founder of the Arete investment group, introduced participants to a basic comparison of the performance and liquidity of selected investment funds from developed European countries and Central and Eastern European countries. He focused primarily on the evaluation of the investment, the liquidity of the funds and the relationship of these indicators to the economic development in the given countries. He concluded the lecture by stating that deciding to invest in real estate funds represents an interesting investment alternative that should not be missing in any investment portfolio, while it is important to understand the fund’s investment strategy, the method of calculating the value of shares and the geographical exposure of the portfolio from a macroeconomic perspective on the given countries.
Miroslav Linhart, partner at Deloitte, presented the most important trends in the real estate and construction market in the Czech Republic and Europe. The key questions here were the characteristics of individual markets, their specifics, as well as current trends and risks that can be expected in the coming years.
In the panel discussion, the speakers tried to predict future developments in connection with the challenges that continental Europe is currently facing (monetary policy, migration waves, global competitiveness, etc.).
