    BA Finland: A new attitude toward risk in real estate investment?

    Transactions - Focus: A new attitude toward risk in real estate investment?  In recent years, it has become increasingly necessary to conduct thorough and continuous risk assessments. Many investors are, for instance, placing greater emphasis on friendshoring – political stability as a core component of their investment strategy. Are we seeing a shift in capital flows toward markets perceived as safer? How is the perception of the Nordic markets – and Finland in particular – evolving among international real estate investors? Are there any specific transactions in Finland that are interesting to analyze from a risk perspective?

Neil, CEO, Genesta Jakob Persson, Head of Origination, Nordisk Renting Jan Olsson, CEO Nordic Region, Deutsche Bank
