11:30 - Are REIT’s the best alternative for long term investors?

SIGI’s and SOCIMI’s offer today a common investment platform and an excellent alternative for long term investors, such as insurance companies and pension funds. New Solvency II rules mean a new potential for attracting insurers. In a low interest rate climate, real estate offers an unmatched advantage protecting against long term depreciation!
