| F&C REIT Germany is taking advantage of its well diversified portfolio. Assuming a process of normalisation for the future real estate market, we are preparing for the upturn. Our company is using our network both to get access to distress sales and non-performing loans as well as to screen the market for potential properties for new funds. Over time, we have kept the company's shrewd instinct for good investment opportunities which allows us to maximise values and be able to identify the right time in the cycle to buy and sell. Our strategic focus will be to launch a new fund giving our investors the possibility to take advantage of the bottom of the market. The capabilities of our Asset Management Team will be strengthened further and will also be made available for special tasks such as managing distressed loans for third parties. F&C REIT Germany is perfectly placed to exploit opportunities as we go through the downturn. |
