The return since inception in 2006 is +73%, which is an annualised return of +17% per annum, during and despite the last 4 turbulent years.
Solid performance Real Associates Emerging Europe Fund rose by 6% in the first 6 months of 2010. The solid performance can be explained by a number of factors. The change of focus from 2006 onwards towards Sweden. The careful selection of regions, sectors and properties within Sweden. The continued predicted resilience of the Swedish economy, the Swedish residential real estate sector and the Swedish Krona. The change of portfolio emphasis towards residential and income generating properties. The continuing focus on active management, added value and cost control. |
Future Outlook
Sweden offers unique opportunities since the residential sector is undergoing a structural transformation.
Privatisation and deregulation are providing extraordinary opportunities, dramatically changing this
heavily subsidised and controlled sector.
|
Long term Performance Real Associates Emerging Europe has consistently outpaced the Dow Jones Real Estate index, returning 73% since inception, whilst the Dow Jones Real Estate ex-US index (DWXRST & DWXST) returned negative numbers for the same period. Realassociates believes that returns will continue to significantly outperform the market. |
Conservative risk policy Real Associates applies a conservative investment strategy focusing on investing in regions with a well developed framework for property ownership. Conservative assumptions are used in currency and mortgage selection to diversify the portfolio across countries as well as sectors. |
