This week was all about FONDS professionell for me. The trade magazine had invited to two events in Frankfurt.
Investment Forum Tangible Assets at the Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof
Real estate has traditionally been one of the core tangible assets. Former German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrück's reflections on fiscal policy and inflation underscore the importance of holding valuable, tangible assets in uncertain times. He believes that the German economic model is under enormous pressure. Moritz Schularick, President of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW), noted that the construction crisis has long since evolved into a macroeconomic issue. Stagnating construction activity is slowing growth and jeopardizing the future viability of cities.
After-work party at the Omniturm
The after-work event at the Omniturm was a successful end to the week. Owned by Commerz Real, this striking high-rise building was the first mixed-use tower in Frankfurt to illustrate the importance of real estate as a stable foundation in any portfolio.
My assessment
Real estate remains an indispensable component of a diversified portfolio. Based on my experience in the real estate industry, the demand for advice has increased significantly. While real estate investments were almost a surefire success during the zero-interest-rate phase, in the current market environment, analysis, experience, and expertise determine whether transactions are valuable or misguided investments. Those who want to take advantage of opportunities and minimize risks need sound assessments and experience from ongoing transactions gained in daily practice.
